-Gastrointestinal irritation The client is at risk for gastrointestinal irritation (GI) as an adverse effect of tamoxifen; however, another finding is the priority to report to the provider. The
nurse should administer the medication with food or fluids to reduce GI irritation.
-Vaginal dryness
The client is at risk for vaginal dryness as an adverse effect of tamoxifen; however, another finding is the priority to report to the provider. The nurse should
encourage the client to use vaginal moisturizers if dryness occurs.
-Leg tenderness = CORRECT ANSWER
The greatest risk to this client is the development of a thromboembolism, which is an adverse effect of tamoxifen. The nurse should also monitor the client for other manifestations of a thromboembolism, including leg tenderness, redness, swelling, and shortness of breath.

-A fine red rash is transient and can be treated with antihistamines.
The nurse should instruct the client to report a rash to the provider immediately as this can be an indication of hypersensitivity syndrome, a life-threatening
toxicity. Treatment for allopurinol toxicity can require hemodialysis or the administration of glucocorticoid medications 6) A nurse is caring for a pt who has diabetes mellitus and is taking Glyburide. The pt reports feeling confused and anxious. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first? -Perform a capillary blood glucose test. = CORRECT ANSWER

tubing and administer 0.9% sodium chloride by continuous IV infusion.
-Elevate the client's legs above the level of the heart.
The nurse should elevate the client's legs and feet to a level above the client's heart to facilitate blood flow to the vital organs. However, there is another action the nurse should take first.
