Extract:
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has nausea and a prescription for metoclopramide intermittent IV bolus every 4 hr as needed. The client asks the nurse how metoclopramide will relieve her nausea. Which of the following explanations should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Metoclopramide relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying. It works by increasing the contractions of the stomach and small intestines, which helps food move more quickly through the digestive system. This action reduces the feeling of fullness and nausea.
Choice B is incorrect because slowing peristalsis would actually worsen nausea by delaying the movement of food through the digestive tract.
Choice C is incorrect because relaxing gastric muscles would not help with nausea relief, as the goal is to improve gastric emptying.
Choice D is incorrect because metoclopramide does not directly affect gastric acid secretions, but rather focuses on improving motility.
Therefore, the correct explanation for the client is that metoclopramide helps relieve nausea by promoting gastric emptying.
