Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is mechanically ventilated and receiving propofol intravenously. Which of the following manifestations should the nurse identify as a complication of administration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sepsis. Propofol is known to suppress the immune system, increasing the risk of infections like sepsis in mechanically ventilated patients. Hypokalemia (
A) is not directly related to propofol administration. Urinary retention (
C) is a common side effect of anesthesia but not specific to propofol. Hypoglycemia (
D) is not a common complication of propofol. In summary, sepsis is the correct choice as it is a potential serious complication associated with propofol administration in mechanically ventilated patients, while the other choices are less relevant or not directly linked to propofol.
