Question 1 of 5
A nurse is taking care of a patient that has a new prescription for labetalol (beta blocker). What adverse effect should the nurse include in the medication education?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Bradycardia. Labetalol is a beta blocker that slows down the heart rate by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors. This can lead to bradycardia, which is a slow heart rate. The nurse should educate the patient about this potential adverse effect to prevent any complications.
Hypokalemia (choice
A) is not a common adverse effect of labetalol. Bleeding (choice
B) is not directly associated with beta blockers like labetalol. Seizures (choice
D) are not a typical adverse effect of labetalol.
Therefore, the correct answer is C as it directly correlates with the mechanism of action of labetalol.
