Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer ibuprofen to a client for pain relief. The client is diagnosed with a bleeding disorder. What should the nurse do?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Contact the healthcare provider (HCP). Administering ibuprofen to a client with a bleeding disorder can worsen the bleeding due to its antiplatelet effects. The nurse should contact the HCP to discuss alternative pain relief options that are safe for the client. Administering the medication (A) is not safe in this situation, administering with food (B) will not mitigate the risk, and asking the client if the medication is desired (D) does not address the potential harm it can cause. Contacting the HCP ensures the client's safety and appropriate care.
