What is one of the side effects of Donepezil that clients should be made aware of?

Increased appetite
Constipation
Improved sleep quality
Enhanced cognitive function

The correct answer is: Constipation

One of the notable side effects of Donepezil, which is often prescribed to treat Alzheimer's disease, is constipation. This can occur as a result of the medication's action in the brain affecting gastrointestinal motility. Patients taking Donepezil may not initially associate changes in their bowel movements with the medication, so it's important for healthcare providers to inform them about this potential side effect. Awareness allows clients to monitor their symptoms and report any concerns, ensuring that they can manage the side effects more effectively. In contrast, the other options are generally not recognized as significant side effects associated with Donepezil. There may be no clear evidence supporting increased appetite or improved sleep quality as effects of Donepezil. While some patients may report subjective improvements in cognitive functioning as a primary goal of the medication, that is not classified as a side effect. Instead, it is the intended therapeutic effect. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for patients and caregivers as they navigate treatment options.
