Question 5 of 5
A young adult who was in a motorcycle accident is brought to the emergency room with a closed head injury with suspected subdural hematoma. Although the client complains of a severe headache, he is alert and answers questions appropriately. The nurse would question which of the following orders?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Morphine sulfate, a narcotic analgesic, causes central nervous system (CNS) and respiratory depression. In patients with head injuries, it is contraindicated because it masks signs of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), such as changes in level of consciousness, which are critical for monitoring neurological status. Promethazine is an antiemetic, docusate is a stool softener, and ranitidine prevents stress ulcers, none of which pose the same risk in this context.
