Question

a nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for amphetamine sulfate. the nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?
hypotension
tinnitus
tachycardia
bronchospasm

Explanation:

Amphetamine sulfate is a stimulant. Stimulants typically increase heart rate (tachycardia) rather than cause hypotension (low blood pressure, stimulants usually raise BP). Tinnitus (ringing in ears) and bronchospasm (airway constriction) are not typical adverse effects of amphetamines. So the correct adverse effect to monitor for is tachycardia.

Answer:

C. Tachycardia
