Question 1 of 5

A nurse is preparing to administer propranolol to a client. Which of the following should the nurse assess prior to administering this medication?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that primarily affects the heart by slowing down the heart rate. Assessing the client's heart rate prior to administering propranolol is crucial to ensure that the medication is safe to administer and to monitor for any potential adverse effects such as bradycardia.


Choice B: Respiratory rate is not directly related to propranolol administration, as propranolol primarily affects the cardiovascular system.


Choice C: Temperature is not a priority assessment before administering propranolol, as it does not impact the safety or effectiveness of the medication.


Choice D: Pain level is also not directly relevant to administering propranolol, as it is primarily used for heart conditions and not for pain management.

In summary, assessing the heart rate is essential before administering propranolol to monitor for potential adverse effects related to its action on the cardiovascular system.
