Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching about adverse effects of anastrozole with a client who has advanced breast cancer and is postmenopausal. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse recommend the client report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Musculoskeletal pain. Anastrozole, an aromatase inhibitor used in breast cancer treatment, can cause musculoskeletal pain as a common adverse effect. This is important to report to the provider as it may indicate musculoskeletal issues such as osteoporosis or arthritis. Fatigue (
A) and hot flashes (
B) are common side effects of anastrozole but not typically indicative of serious issues requiring immediate attention. Nausea (
D) is also a common side effect but is usually manageable and not a significant concern unless severe. It is crucial for the nurse to prioritize musculoskeletal pain as a potential indicator of more serious complications.
