HESI Pharmacology Exam 2 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

After taking orlistat for one week, a female client tells the home health nurse that she is experiencing increasingly frequent oily stools and flatus. Which action should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Oily stools and flatus are expected side effects of orlistat, which inhibits fat absorption. Asking about recent dietary intake assesses compliance with a low-fat diet, which can reduce these side effects. Increasing fats worsens symptoms, and stopping the drug or testing stool is unnecessary without severe symptoms.
