Question 1 of 5
A nurse administered ondansetron (Zofran) IV to a client one hour ago. Which of the following findings should the nurse recognize as a complication of this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Prolonged QT interval. Ondansetron is known to potentially cause QT interval prolongation, leading to serious cardiac arrhythmias. The nurse should recognize this as a complication because it can result in life-threatening conditions. Bradycardia (
A) is not a common side effect of ondansetron. Absence of nausea (
B) is an expected therapeutic outcome of the medication. Shortened QT interval (
C) would not be a complication of ondansetron.
Therefore, the correct answer is D.
