Question

a nurse is teaching a client about the adverse effects of a newly prescribed medication. which of the following statements should the nurse include in the teaching? \adverse effects are the intended effects of the medication.\ \adverse effects indicate a severe allergy to the medication.\ \decrease your medication dose if adverse effects occur.\ \contact your provider if adverse effects occur.\

Explanation:

Adverse effects are unintended. They don't always mean a severe allergy. Decreasing dose without provider's advice is unsafe. Contacting the provider when adverse effects occur is the correct action as the provider can assess and decide on the next steps (e.g., adjusting dose, changing medication).

Answer:

"Contact your provider if adverse effects occur."
