Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for an older adult client who has cancer and is receiving opioids for pain relief. The client has a new prescription for docusate PO daily. When collecting data from the client, which of the following therapeutic effects of docusate should the nurse expect?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Relief from constipation. Docusate is a stool softener commonly prescribed to prevent or treat constipation in patients on opioids, as opioids can cause constipation by slowing down gastrointestinal motility. Docusate works by increasing the amount of water absorbed into the stool, making it softer and easier to pass. The other options are not directly related to the therapeutic effects of docusate. A: Relief from nausea is more commonly associated with antiemetic medications; C: Decreased drowsiness is not a known effect of docusate; D: Decreased cancer pain is not a desired outcome of docusate but rather the opioids being used for pain relief in this case.
