Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer verapamil by IV bolus to a client who is having cardiac dysrhythmias. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor when giving this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypotension. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that can cause hypotension as a common adverse effect by decreasing blood pressure. This is crucial to monitor as it can lead to serious complications such as dizziness, fainting, or even shock. Hyperthermia (
A), muscle pain (
B), and ototoxicity (
C) are not commonly associated with verapamil administration. Monitoring for hypotension is essential for the nurse to ensure the client's safety and well-being during the administration of verapamil.
