Question 1 of 5
A nurse enters a client's room to administer a medication that has been prescribed by the health care provider. The client asks the nurse about the medication. Which response by the nurse is appropriate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A client has the right to be informed of the medication name, purpose, action, and potential undesirable effects of a prescribed medication. The nurse should provide adequate information to the client.
Choice B is the correct answer as it includes the medication name, its purpose (promoting urination and eliminating excess fluid), and a potential side effect (alteration in electrolyte levels) with a plan for managing it (increasing potassium in the diet). This response demonstrates thorough and complete information.
Choice A provides some information but lacks details on potential side effects and dietary adjustments.
Choice C is vague and does not provide specific details about the medication.
Choice D deflects the client's question and does not fulfill the client's right to information.
