    A nurse is providing teaching to a client who is taking raloxifene (Evista) to prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis. Which of the following options DOES NOT indicate an adverse effect of this medication?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Redness and swelling of the leg may indicate a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is a known risk with raloxifene. B. Swelling of the lower leg is a common sign of DVT, which is a potential side effect of raloxifene. C. Jaundice is not a typical adverse effect of raloxifene. However, if a client experiences jaundice, it could indicate a liver issue, and the medication should be reviewed. D. Tenderness in the lower leg could also indicate DVT, another serious adverse effect related to raloxifene.
