PN Maternal Newborn 2020 with NGN ( 57 Questions)
A nurse is collecting data from a client who is receiving terbutaline to treat preterm labor. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Nausea is a common side effect of terbutaline, but it is not typically a cause for concern. It may be managed with measures like taking the medication with food.
Tremors are a known side effect of terbutaline. While they may be uncomfortable for the client, they are an expected side effect and not necessarily indicative of a problem requiring immediate intervention.
Dizziness can occur as a side effect of terbutaline. It is important to monitor the client for this, but it is not typically a severe side effect that requires immediate reporting to the provider.
Crackles (also known as rales) in the lungs suggest the possibility of fluid accumulation, which could be a sign of pulmonary edema. This is a serious concern and should be reported to the provider promptly, as it may require a change in treatment or further evaluation.
