    A nurse is caring for a client who has a prescription for ceftriaxone. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?

    Explanation & Rationale

    B. Maculopapular rash is a potential adverse effect of ceftriaxone. It is a type of skin rash characterized by flat, red areas (macules) and raised, bumpy areas (papules). If a client develops a rash while taking ceftriaxone, it should be reported to the healthcare provider for evaluation. A. Constipation is not a common adverse effect of ceftriaxone. It is more commonly associated with other medications or medical conditions unrelated to ceftriaxone. C. Pitting edema is not a common adverse effect of ceftriaxone. It may occur as a result of other medical conditions or medications, but it is not specifically associated with ceftriaxone. D. Concentrated urine is not a common adverse effect of ceftriaxone.
