Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Prevents dysrhythmias. Lidocaine is a Class IB antiarrhythmic medication commonly used to prevent and treat ventricular dysrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. It works by stabilizing the cell membranes in the heart, reducing the excitability of cardiac cells and preventing abnormal electrical activity that can lead to life-threatening arrhythmias. The other options are incorrect because lidocaine does not slow intestinal motility (
A), relieve pain (
B), or dissolve blood clots (
D). It is important for the nurse to educate the client on the purpose of the medication to ensure understanding and adherence to the treatment plan.
