Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and requires mechanical ventilation. The client receives a prescription for pancuronium. The nurse recognizes that this medication is for which of the following purposes?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Suppress respiratory effort. Pancuronium is a neuromuscular blocking agent that paralyzes skeletal muscles, including the diaphragm, to suppress respiratory effort. This is essential in patients with ARDS who require mechanical ventilation to prevent asynchrony between the patient's breathing efforts and the ventilator.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as pancuronium does not affect respiratory secretions, induce sedation, or decrease chest wall compliance. It solely acts to paralyze respiratory muscles.
