Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has received propofol during a colonoscopy. The nurse should monitor for which of the following as an adverse effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Decrease in respiratory rate. Propofol is a sedative-hypnotic medication commonly used for anesthesia during procedures like colonoscopies. It can cause respiratory depression by depressing the central nervous system. Monitoring the client's respiratory rate is crucial to detect any signs of hypoventilation or respiratory distress.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as propofol does not directly affect bowel function, heart rate, or body temperature. It is important for the nurse to prioritize respiratory monitoring to ensure the client's safety during and after the procedure.
