NCLEX RN Exam Practice Practice Question
A client being discharged from the hospital with a prescription for quinidine to control ventricular ectopy is provided medication instructions by the nurse. Which statement by the client would indicate the need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, and dizziness are all common side effects of quinidine. If these should occur, the primary health care provider or nurse should be notified, but the medication should never be stopped by the client. A rapid decrease in the medication level of an antidysrhythmic could precipitate dysrhythmia. The remaining options are accurate client statements.
