A nurse is teaching a client diagnosed with hypertension and is prescribed Atenolol. Which of the following findings should the nurse include as adverse effects of Atenolol?

A. Administration of erythropoietin (Epoetin): In chronic renal disease, the kidneys may not produce enough erythropoietin, leading to anemia. Epoetin is a synthetic form of erythropoietin that stimulates red blood cell production and is commonly used to treat anemia in these clients.

B. Transfusion of red blood cells (RBCs): While transfusion of RBCs may be necessary in severe cases of anemia or acute blood loss, it is not the first-line treatment for anemia related to chronic renal disease. Erythropoietin-stimulating agents are preferred to stimulate endogenous RBC production.

C. Weekly monitoring of complete blood count (CBC): Monitoring of CBC is important to assess the response to treatment and adjust therapy as needed but does not represent a specific treatment for anemia in chronic renal disease.

D. An order for iron replacement medication: Iron replacement may be indicated if iron deficiency is contributing to the anemia, but it is not the primary treatment for anemia in chronic renal disease. Erythropoietin-stimulating agents are typically used first to address the underlying cause of anemia.

A. Prolonged P-R interval: A prolonged P-R interval may indicate an atrioventricular (AV) block or conduction delay, but it is not specifically associated with hyperkalemia.

B. Peaked T waves: Peaked T waves are a classic EKG finding in hyperkalemia. Hyperkalemia can affect cardiac repolarization, leading to tall, peaked T waves on the EKG.

C. Elevated ST segment: An elevated ST segment may indicate myocardial injury or ischemia but is not typically associated with hyperkalemia.

D. Inverted P wave: An inverted P wave may indicate atrial enlargement or conduction abnormalities but is not specifically associated with hyperkalemia.
