What are the side effects related to the nervous system when taking certain medications?

Stimulation
Increased blood pressure
Slowed heart beat
Edema

The correct answer is: Stimulation

Stimulation is the only option listed that is related to the nervous system. Increased blood pressure and slowed heart beat are related to the cardiovascular system, while edema is related to the respiratory or circulatory system. While some medications can have side effects on multiple systems, it is important to consider the main effect of the medication when determining potential side effects. In this case, the nervous system is the main focus, making "stimulation" the most likely side effect.
