HESI bsn 225 RN Pharmacology Proctored Exam
A client who is receiving pregabalin for fibromyalgia complains of tremors in the hands. Which action should the nurse implement?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Tremors can be a side effect of pregabalin and may indicate a need to adjust the dosage or reconsider the medication; notifying the healthcare provider is appropriate. B. Administering an antianxiety drug without consulting the healthcare provider may not address the underlying cause of the tremors and could lead to further complications. C. Orthostatic blood pressure readings are not directly related to the symptom of hand tremors caused by pregabalin. D. While glucose levels could influence symptoms, tremors are more likely a side effect of pregabalin rather than an indication of altered glucose levels.
