Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who had total hip arthroplasty 1 day ago and is receiving morphine sulfate by PCA pump for pain control. The client reports nausea and vomiting. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer an antiemetic. Nausea and vomiting are common side effects of morphine sulfate. Administering an antiemetic will help relieve these symptoms without interfering with the pain control provided by the PCA pump. Inserting a nasogastric tube (choice
A) is not indicated as there is no indication of bowel obstruction. Auscultating bowel sounds (choice
C) is not the priority in this situation. Encouraging the client to ambulate (choice
D) may help with bowel motility but addressing the nausea and vomiting is the immediate concern.
