Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for dimenhydrinate. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Monitor for dizziness. Dimenhydrinate is an antihistamine commonly used to prevent and treat nausea, vomiting, and dizziness caused by motion sickness or vertigo. The nurse should include instructions to monitor for dizziness as it is a common side effect of this medication. Option A is incorrect because dimenhydrinate is usually administered 30 minutes to 1 hour before the desired effect. Option B is incorrect as it does not typically cause an increase in salivation. Option D is incorrect as diarrhea is not a common side effect of dimenhydrinate.
