Question 1 of 5
A nurse is collecting data on a client who has a prescription for morphine. The nurse should recognize which of the following data is a priority to obtain before administering this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Respiratory rate. Before administering morphine, it is crucial to assess the client's respiratory rate because morphine is a central nervous system depressant that can potentially cause respiratory depression. Monitoring the respiratory rate helps in early detection of any respiratory distress or depression, allowing for prompt intervention. Temperature (
A), blood pressure (
B), and apical heart rate (
D) are important assessments but do not take precedence over respiratory rate when administering morphine.
