Question 1 of 5
The client with advanced prostate cancer is receiving abarelix. Due to the effects of the medication, what should be the nurse's priority?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A: Constipation is a side effect of abarelix and is important to monitor but is not the priority. B: Breast pain with tenderness is a side effect of abarelix and is important to monitor but is not the priority. C: The nurse's priority should be to observe the client for at least 30 minutes after abarelix (Plenaxis) administration.
