Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old male client admitted to the surgical unit after having a total right knee replacement. The nurse reviews the client's nursing note, vital signs, and medication administration record (MAR). Based on the findings, which medication is considered an anti-emetic?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Ondansetron (Zofran). Ondansetron is considered an anti-emetic, commonly used to prevent and treat nausea and vomiting. After a knee replacement surgery, patients are at risk for postoperative nausea and vomiting due to anesthesia and pain medications. Ondansetron works by blocking serotonin in the chemoreceptor trigger zone, inhibiting the vomiting reflex. The other choices, B: Acetaminophen (Tylenol), C: Prochlorperazine (Compazine), and D: Morphine Sulfate, are not anti-emetics. Acetaminophen is an analgesic, Prochlorperazine is an antipsychotic used for nausea and vomiting, and Morphine Sulfate is an opioid analgesic, which can actually cause nausea and vomiting as side effects.
