The nurse is teaching a client about newly prescribed metoclopramide for nausea and vomiting. Which adverse reaction requires immediate follow-up?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Dystonia, an extrapyramidal symptom, is a serious adverse effect of metoclopramide requiring immediate follow-up due to its impact on movement. Fever, drowsiness, and diarrhea are less urgent side effects.
