Question 1 of 5
A client with narcolepsy receives a new prescription for methylphenidate. Prior to administration of the medication, the nurse should review the medical record for which condition?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hypertension. Methylphenidate is a central nervous system stimulant used to treat narcolepsy. It can increase blood pressure and heart rate, so it is crucial to review the client's medical record for hypertension to ensure the medication is safe to administer. Reviewing for hypercholesterolemia (choice
A), diabetes mellitus (choice
C), or bronchitis (choice
D) is not directly related to the potential side effects or contraindications of methylphenidate in a client with narcolepsy.
Therefore, these conditions are not the priority for review in this case.
