Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has a history of renal insufficiency and is taking mediation. which of the following should the nurse monitor the client for?
tolerance to the medication
medication interaction
medication toxicity
dependence on the medication

Explanation:

Renal insufficiency affects the kidneys' ability to excrete medications. If the kidneys can't clear the medication properly, it can accumulate, leading to toxicity. Tolerance is about reduced response over time, interaction is between multiple drugs, and dependence is about psychological/physical need—none relate to renal function's impact on drug levels like toxicity does.

Answer:

C. Medication toxicity
