Question 1 of 5
The nurse understands that neomycin may cause serious adverse effects such as HepatotoxicityCardiotoxicityDermatotoxicityNeurotoxicityOtotoxicityHemotoxicity and HepatotoxicityCardiotoxicityNephrotoxicityDermatotoxicityOtotoxicityHemotoxicity.
Correct Answer: D,G
Rationale: The correct answers are D: Neurotoxicity and G: Nephrotoxicity. Neomycin is known for causing adverse effects on the nervous system (neurotoxicity) and kidneys (nephrotoxicity). Neurotoxicity can present as tingling, numbness, and muscle twitching. Nephrotoxicity can lead to kidney damage and impaired kidney function. The other choices are incorrect because neomycin is not associated with hepatotoxicity (liver damage), cardiotoxicity (heart damage), dermatotoxicity (skin damage), ototoxicity (ear damage), or hemotoxicity (blood damage). It is crucial for the nurse to monitor for signs and symptoms of neurotoxicity and nephrotoxicity when administering neomycin to prevent serious complications.
