2. Muscle pain and weakness

Rationale:
Side effects of statin drugs, such as atorvastatin, include liver inflammation, elevated enzymes, and muscle pain and weakness. Clients are to be advised to report these symptoms while on these medications. The other symptoms are unrelated to taking statin drugs.
