Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has nausea and a prescription for metoclopramide intravenously every 8 hours as needed. The client asks the nurse how metoclopramide will relieve her nausea. Which explanation should the nurse provide?How does metoclopramide relieve nausea?
Correct Answer: A,D
Rationale: The correct answers are A and D. Metoclopramide relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying, which helps move food through the stomach faster. This action reduces the feeling of fullness and discomfort, ultimately alleviating nausea. Additionally, enhancing gastric emptying helps prevent reflux, which can contribute to nausea.
Choices B and C are incorrect because metoclopramide does not work by relaxing gastric muscles or decreasing gastric acid secretions. These mechanisms do not directly address the issue of delayed gastric emptying, which is the primary reason for nausea relief with metoclopramide.
