What is a possible side effect of Vancomycin?

Photosensitivity
Nephrotoxicity
QT prolongation
DILE

The correct answer is: Nephrotoxicity

B Nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) is a known side effect of Vancomycin. Photosensitivity (increased sensitivity to sunlight), QT prolongation (abnormal heart rhythm), and DILE (drug-induced lupus erythematosus) are all potential side effects of other medications, but have not been associated with Vancomycin. Therefore, B is the best answer option.
