Question 1 of 5
The nurse should advise clients taking phenazopyridine that they may notice a change in urine color. Which color would the nurse identify?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: orange. Phenazopyridine is a urinary analgesic that can cause urine discoloration, typically turning it orange or red. This is a harmless side effect and is due to the drug's pigment. Purple, blue, and green are not common colors associated with phenazopyridine use. Purple or blue urine color may indicate underlying medical conditions. Green urine color is rare and usually caused by certain medications or foods.
Therefore, advising clients to expect an orange color change in urine when taking phenazopyridine is essential for accurate patient education.
