Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client 15 minutes after administering morphine sulfate 2 mg via IV push. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an adverse effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Respiratory rate 8/min. Morphine sulfate is an opioid that can cause respiratory depression as an adverse effect. A respiratory rate of 8/min is significantly below the normal range (12-20/min) and indicates respiratory depression, a serious adverse effect of morphine. This finding requires immediate intervention to prevent further complications such as respiratory arrest.
Choice A (Sleepy, but arousing when her name is called) is a common side effect of morphine but not necessarily an adverse effect requiring immediate intervention.
Choice C (Pain level of 6 on a scale from 0 to 10) is not indicative of an adverse effect of morphine.
The other choices are not provided, but they would be incorrect as they do not indicate a serious adverse effect of morphine sulfate.
