Question

the nurse should withhold which medication if a client reports nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea?
a colchicine.
b labetolol.
c erythromycin.
d naproxen.

Explanation:

Colchicine is used for gout, and its common adverse effects include gastrointestinal symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. If a client on colchicine reports these symptoms, the nurse should withhold it as these can indicate toxicity or severe side effects. Labetolol (antihypertensive), Erythromycin (antibiotic), and Naproxen (NSAID) do not typically have these GI symptoms as a primary reason for withholding in this context.

Answer:

A. Colchicine
