Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a newly licensed nurse about monitoring morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Which of the following information should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Instruct the client's visitors not to operate the PCA pump. This is crucial to prevent unauthorized administration of medication. Visitors may not be aware of the prescribed dosage or timing, risking overdose.
B is incorrect as pain assessment frequency should be more frequent, not every 8 hours. C is incorrect as the risk of toxicity is related to dosing and monitoring, not just the use of morphine PCA itself. D is incorrect as constipation, not diarrhea, is a common adverse effect of morphine PCA.
