    A nurse is collecting data from a client who is taking aspirin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Headache - Headache is a common side effect of aspirin and is not typically a cause for concern. B. BP 120/70 mm Hg - This blood pressure reading is within the normal range and is not a cause for concern related to aspirin. C. Hct 43% - Elevated hematocrit is not an adverse effect of aspirin. D. Rhinitis is a sign of hypersensitivity to aspirin and can indicate a risk of developing more severe reactions, such as bronchospasm or anaphylaxis. The nurse should report this finding to the provider and stop the medication.
