Question 1 of 5
Before administering a client's prescribed nonselective adrenergic blocker, what should the nurse assess?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Pulse and blood pressure. Before administering a nonselective adrenergic blocker, assessing the client's pulse and blood pressure is crucial. Adrenergic blockers affect the sympathetic nervous system, leading to potential decreases in heart rate and blood pressure. Monitoring these vital signs helps detect any adverse effects or contraindications to administering the medication. Assessing WBC count (
A), bowel sounds (
C), and serum sodium and potassium levels (
D) are not directly related to the action or potential side effects of adrenergic blockers.
