A nurse is caring for a client who has hyperlipidemia and a new prescription for colesevelam. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following manifestations as an adverse effect of colesevelam?

A. "Hyperglycemia": Colesevelam is not typically associated with hyperglycemia. In fact, it may improve glycemic control in some individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is not expected to cause high blood sugar as an adverse effect. B. "Stomatitis": Stomatitis, or inflammation of the mouth, is not a common adverse effect of colesevelam. While gastrointestinal issues may occur, mouth sores are not typically associated with this medication. C. "Fever": Fever is not a known adverse effect of colesevelam. While infections or other reactions may cause fever, it is not related to the use of this cholesterol-lowering drug. D. "Constipation": Colesevelam can cause constipation as a common side effect. As a bile acid sequestrant, it works by binding bile acids in the intestines, which can lead to gastrointestinal issues like constipation. This should be monitored and managed accordingly.
