Question 1 of 5

A nurse is assessing a client who takes diazepam for anxiety and hydromorphone for severe pain. Which of the following is the priority finding that the nurse should report to the provider?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Bradypnea. Bradypnea, or slow breathing, is a serious side effect of hydromorphone, an opioid medication. Opioids can depress the respiratory system, leading to potentially life-threatening respiratory depression. This is a priority finding that the nurse should report to the provider immediately to prevent respiratory failure.

A, B, and C are common side effects of diazepam and hydromorphone but are not as immediately life-threatening as bradypnea. Urinary retention (choice
A) is a side effect of diazepam, blurred vision (choice
B) can occur with both medications, and headache (choice
C) is a common side effect of hydromorphone. However, these side effects do not pose the same level of risk as bradypnea in this scenario.
