Extract:


Question 1 of 5

The opioid acetaminophen/hydrocodone is prescribed for a patient who has had surgery. The nurse informs the patient that which common adverse effects can occur with this medication? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,D

Rationale: The correct adverse effects of acetaminophen/hydrocodone are constipation, lightheadedness, and urinary retention. Constipation is a common side effect due to the opioid's effect on the gastrointestinal system. Lightheadedness can occur due to the central nervous system depressant properties of hydrocodone. Urinary retention is a potential side effect because opioids can affect bladder function. Pain and diarrhea are not common adverse effects of this medication.
Therefore, choices C and E are incorrect.
