    A nurse is caring for a client who has generalized anxiety disorder and is taking buspirone. Which of the following adverse effects should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Discolored urine is not a known or serious adverse effect of buspirone and typically does not warrant reporting. B. Decreased appetite can occur but is usually mild and not typically a reason to stop the medication. C. Hallucinations are not a common side effect of buspirone and may indicate a serious reaction or an underlying worsening of the mental health condition. This should be reported to the provider immediately. D. Sweating can occur with buspirone but is generally considered a mild and non-serious side effect.
