    A nurse is collecting data from a client who has been taking carbamazepine. Which of the following is an adverse effect of carbamazepine and should be reported to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Sore throat is a common side effect of carbamazepine. Carbamazepine causes agranulocytosis whose earliest sign is a sore throat. B. Gingivitis is not a side effect associated with carbamazepine. C. Urge incontinence, or the sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate, is not a common adverse effect of carbamazepine. D. Increased salivation is not a typical adverse effect of carbamazepine. While dry mouth is a possible side effect, increased salivation would be unusual.
