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. It can cause respiratory depression by depressing the central nervous system. The nurse should monitor the client for signs of decreased respiratory rate, such as shallow breathing or hypoventilation, which can lead to hypoxia. Monitoring respiratory rate is crucial to prevent respiratory complications.

Incorrect Options:
A: Increase in bowel function - Propofol does not affect bowel function.
B: Increase in heart rate - Propofol typically causes a decrease in heart rate due to its sedative effects.
D: Decrease in body temperature - Propofol does not directly affect body temperature.
