Donald has been diagnosed with hyperlipidemia. Based on his lipid profile, atorvastatin is prescribed. Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but serious adverse response to this drug. Donald should be told to:
 
  1. Become a vegetarian because this disorder is associated with eating red meat.
  2. Stop taking the drug if abdominal cramps and diarrhea develop.
  3. Report muscle weakness or tenderness and dark urine to his provider immediately.
  4. Expect hot flash sensations during the first 2 weeks of therapy.
