ATI RN Pharmacology 2023 III Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving diazepam for moderate (conscious) sedation. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to assess for an adverse reaction to the medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Monitor the client's oxygen saturation. When a client is receiving diazepam for sedation, respiratory depression is a potential adverse reaction. Monitoring oxygen saturation provides crucial information about the client's respiratory status. Decreased oxygen saturation levels can indicate respiratory distress, which is a serious adverse reaction that requires immediate intervention. Auscultating bowel sounds (
B), checking urinary output (
C), and monitoring for seizure activity (
D) are not directly related to assessing for adverse reactions to diazepam sedation. Bowel sounds and urinary output assessment are more relevant to gastrointestinal and renal function, respectively. Seizure activity monitoring is not a common adverse reaction to diazepam sedation.
