Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for aluminum hydroxide to treat heartburn. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for and report which of the following adverse reactions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Constipation. Aluminum hydroxide is known to cause constipation as a common adverse reaction due to its antacid properties. It works by neutralizing stomach acid, which can slow down the movement of the gastrointestinal tract, leading to constipation. The other options, such as flatulence, headache, and palpitations, are not commonly associated with aluminum hydroxide use. Constipation should be monitored for and reported to healthcare providers to prevent complications.
