ANS: B
Immobilized patients receiving androgens for palliative breast cancer treatment are at risk for hypercalcemia. The nurse should monitor patients for nausea, vomiting, constipation, poor muscle tone, and lethargy. Immobilization does not affect electrolyte balance, blood glucose, or fluid balance in this case.
