ANS: D
Tremors are the adverse effect that causes the most concern, because they may indicate neurotoxicity.
Gingival hyperplasia is an anticipated effect of the medication.
Hyperglycemia may be a concern, but the value given is just a borderline value.
Risk of infection is a concern for any patient with a renal transplant, but an actual infection would be more likely to concern the nurse.
