Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulfonamide antibacterial drugs can cause leukopenia or low white blood cell count after 7 to 10 days of use. The nurse should closely monitor the client's complete blood count (CBC) to detect any decrease in white blood cells. Ulcers, tachycardia, and miosis are not commonly associated side effects of sulfonamide antibacterial drugs.
