Which of the following adverse effects should a nurse include when teaching a client about cisplatin?

Increased appetite
Tinnitus
Reduced hair loss
Enhanced vision

The correct answer is: Tinnitus

Cisplatin is a chemotherapy medication commonly used to treat various types of cancer. As a nurse, it is important to educate clients about the potential adverse effects of this medication. Increased appetite (option A) and enhanced vision (option D) are not commonly reported adverse effects of cisplatin. Reduced hair loss (option C) may be a common misconception, as hair loss is actually a common side effect of this medication. Tinnitus (option B) is a potential adverse effect of cisplatin that can cause ringing or buzzing in the ears, and may require medical attention if it becomes severe. It is important for clients to be aware of this potential side effect and to seek medical help if needed.
