Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Testosterone therapy can increase the risk of fluid retention, so it is important for the nurse to assess the client for signs of edema or weight gain. Assessing for muscle wasting (A) may be relevant for other conditions, but is not a priority intervention for a client receiving testosterone therapy. Development of blood dyscrasias (C) and a decrease in hematocrit (D) are not common side effects of testosterone therapy, so monitoring for these would not be a priority intervention.
