A nurse is assessing the vital signs of a client who is taking amiodarone. The nurse should anticipate which of the following findings as an adverse effect of the medication?

A. Amiodarone does not typically cause fever as a direct adverse effect. Fever may indicate an underlying infection or another unrelated condition.B. Amiodarone is more likely to cause hypotension (low blood pressure) rather than hypertension. It can have a negative inotropic effect on the heart, leading to decreased cardiac output and potentially lowering blood pressure.C. Bradycardia is a well-known adverse effect of amiodarone. Amiodarone can prolong the QT interval and affect the sinus node function, leading to bradycardia. It is important for nurses to monitor heart rate closely in clients taking amiodarone, as bradycardia can be symptomatic and may necessitate dose adjustment or discontinuation of the medication.D. Amiodarone does not typically affect respiratory rate. Respiratory adverse effects associated with amiodarone include pulmonary toxicity, which manifests as pulmonary fibrosis or pneumonitis rather than bradypnea.
