Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client who is to begin taking tamoxifen to treat breast cancer. The nurse should instruct the client to expect which of the following findings as an adverse effect of the medication?

A. Constipation B. Clotting C. Tinnitus D. Urinary retention

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Clotting. Tamoxifen is known to increase the risk of blood clots, which can lead to serious complications like deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. The mechanism of action of tamoxifen involves blocking estrogen receptors, which can lead to a pro-coagulant state. Constipation (choice
A), tinnitus (choice
C), and urinary retention (choice
D) are not commonly associated adverse effects of tamoxifen. Constipation is more often linked to opioid medications, tinnitus to ototoxic drugs, and urinary retention to medications with anticholinergic effects.
