ATI Pharmacology Final Exam 1 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A client will be discharged with a 1 week supply of an opioid analgesic for pain management after abdominal surgery. The nurse will include which information in the teaching plan?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: How to prevent constipation. Opioid analgesics commonly cause constipation, so it is important for the client to know how to prevent it through dietary modifications, hydration, and possibly taking stool softeners. This information is crucial for the client's comfort and overall well-being post-surgery.


Choice A is incorrect because dehydration due to diarrhea is not a common side effect of opioid analgesics.
Choice B is incorrect because waiting for pain to become severe before taking the medication can lead to poor pain control.
Choice D is incorrect because opioids are typically taken with food to minimize gastrointestinal upset.
