Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing a client's prescribed medications. Which of the following situations represents a contraindication to medication administration?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D. A contraindication means a specific situation in which a medication should not be used due to the harm it may cause. In this case, the patient has a history of tendonitis, and the medication has a Blackbox warning for causing tendonitis, so it is contraindicated. Administering medications to a client under 4 months of age (
B) is not a contraindication but rather a consideration of dosage and safety. Antibiotic causing nausea without food (
A) is a side effect, not a contraindication. Antihypertensive causing orthostatic hypotension (
C) is a potential adverse effect, not a contraindication.
