A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia complains of tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Tremors are a potential side effect of pregabalin (C). Notifying the provider allows evaluation for dose adjustment or alternative therapy. Antianxiety drugs (A) may mask symptoms without addressing the cause. Orthostatic hypotension (B) is unrelated to tremors. Glucose levels (D) are irrelevant without diabetes history.
