NCLEX Question of the Day
Pharmacological and Parenteral Therapies QID 1065
A patient is prescribed a medication that is known to be ototoxic. What should the nurse include in the patient's education?
Explanation
Ototoxicity refers to drug-induced damage to the ear, which can result in hearing loss or balance issues. It is important for the nurse to educate the patient to report any changes in hearing or balance. Changes in urine output, increased salivation, and skin rashes are not directly related to ototoxicity.
