Monitoring and managing side effects is a critical aspect of nursing care. Nurses should:
Regularly assess the patient for common side effects such as gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions, or changes in renal and liver function. Document any adverse reactions and communicate them to the healthcare team promptly. Provide supportive care and interventions to manage side effects, such as hydration for gastrointestinal issues or antihistamines for allergic reactions.
