The client is prescribed rosuvastatin 10 mg PO daily. What information will the nurse provide in the teaching about this medication?

A. Have biannual renal function studies: While monitoring renal function can be important, it is not specifically required for all patients on rosuvastatin. The focus should be on liver function and muscle-related side effects. B. Stop the medication if you develop a headache: Headaches are not a common or serious side effect of rosuvastatin. Patients should not stop the medication without consulting their healthcare provider unless they experience severe symptoms. C. Report muscle weakness or pain: This is critical information to provide. Statins, including rosuvastatin, can cause muscle-related side effects such as myopathy or rhabdomyolysis. Patients should be instructed to report any unexplained muscle weakness, pain, or tenderness. D. Monitor body weight weekly: While maintaining a healthy weight is important, weekly weight monitoring is not a standard recommendation for patients taking rosuvastatin.
