A client with chemotherapy-induced nausea receives a prescription for metoclopramide. Which adverse effect is most important for the nurse to report?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Involuntary movements (B), such as tardive dyskinesia, are a serious, potentially irreversible metoclopramide side effect (matches 55-Q5/12). Diarrhea (A) and irritability (D) are less severe. Nausea (C) is the treated condition.
