Question 1 of 5
A nurse administered ondansetron (Zofran) IV to a client 30 minutes ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a complication of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Prolonged QT interval. Ondansetron is known to cause QT interval prolongation, which can lead to serious cardiac arrhythmias. The nurse should monitor the client's ECG for any changes indicating QT prolongation.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because ondansetron is actually used to prevent nausea and vomiting, so experiencing these symptoms would not be a complication of the medication.
