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: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that primarily works by decreasing heart rate and blood pressure.
Therefore, assessing the client's heart rate before administering the medication is crucial to ensure that it is within the desired range. Monitoring the heart rate can help determine if the client is at risk for bradycardia or other potential adverse effects of propranolol. Assessing pain level (choice
A), respiratory rate (choice
B), and temperature (choice
D) are not directly related to the action of propranolol and are not necessary assessments prior to administering this medication.
