What assessment finding would indicate the patient's left-sided heart failure is worsening?

Choice A rationale

Ataxia is less commonly associated with opioids than other adverse effects.

Choice B rationale

Dysrhythmias are not typically associated with opioids.

Choice C rationale

Blurred vision isn't a major adverse effect of opioids.

Choice D rationale

Hypotension is a common adverse effect of opioid use and must be monitored.

Choice A rationale

It is not correct to say that women are more prone to adverse effects from medications than men. Adverse effects can vary based on individual responses, and gender is not the sole determinant.

Choice B rationale

Women of reproductive age are often excluded from early-phase drug trials due to the potential risks that experimental drugs could pose to developing fetuses. The reproductive risk needs to be carefully managed to avoid harm.

Choice C rationale

While it is true that drugs can affect women differently than men, this answer does not directly address the specific reason why women are excluded from Phase 1 studies, which is primarily due to the potential risks to reproductive health.

Choice D rationale

This is incorrect because drugs are not tested only on men because they are stronger. This statement is not scientifically accurate and does not reflect the principles of clinical trial design.
