Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client with numerous episodes of watery diarrhea. The client reports eating some spoiled deli meat earlier in the day. The client asks if they should take loperamide (Imodium) to stop the diarrhea. What would be an appropriate response from the nurse?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale:
Correct
Answer: A


Rationale: Loperamide is not recommended if diarrhea is infectious because it can trap the infectious agent in the intestines, prolonging the illness. The underlying cause of the diarrhea should be addressed rather than just masking the symptoms.
Therefore, advising against using loperamide in this situation is crucial to prevent potential complications.

Summary:
B: Incorrect - Loperamide should not be used indefinitely, especially without addressing the root cause of the diarrhea.
C: Incorrect - Loperamide can have side effects such as constipation, dizziness, and abdominal pain.
D: Incorrect - Loperamide is not effective for certain types of diarrhea, especially if the cause is infectious.
E, F, G: Not applicable.
