Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a school-age child who is receiving morphine. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Bradypnea. Morphine, as an opioid, can cause respiratory depression, leading to bradypnea. The nurse should monitor the child's respiratory rate closely as this can progress to respiratory arrest.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Stevens-Johnson syndrome is a severe skin reaction unrelated to morphine use. Prolonged wound healing is not a common adverse effect of morphine. Hypertension is not typically associated with morphine but rather with other medications like stimulants. Monitoring for bradypnea is crucial due to the risk of respiratory depression with opioid use.
