Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for dextromethorphan. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for which of the following adverse effects when taking dextromethorphan?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Ataxia. Dextromethorphan, a common cough suppressant, can cause ataxia, which is the loss of full control of bodily movements. This is important to monitor as it can affect coordination and balance. Palpitations (
A) and hypertension (
B) are not typical side effects of dextromethorphan. Diarrhea (
D) is also not a common adverse effect associated with this medication.
Therefore, option C is the most appropriate adverse effect to monitor for when taking dextromethorphan.
