A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for nitrofurantoin. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Notify the provider if you develop a cough. Nitrofurantoin can cause a rare but serious side effect called pulmonary toxicity, which may manifest as cough and difficulty breathing. It is crucial to inform the healthcare provider immediately if these symptoms occur to prevent severe complications. Reporting brown-colored urine (choice
