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: B
Rationale: The correct explanation is B: The medication relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying. Metoclopramide is a prokinetic agent that enhances gastrointestinal motility and accelerates gastric emptying, thereby reducing the feeling of nausea. This effect helps to move food and stomach contents through the digestive system faster, relieving symptoms of nausea.
Choice A is incorrect because metoclopramide does not directly affect gastric acid secretions.
Choice C is incorrect as slowing peristalsis would worsen nausea.
Choice D is incorrect as relaxing gastric muscles would not address the underlying cause of nausea.
Therefore, the correct answer is B due to its direct mechanism of action in promoting gastric emptying to alleviate nausea.
