Question 1 of 5
For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse monitor a client who is prescribed metoclopramide following bowel surgery?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Sedation. Metoclopramide is a medication that can cause sedation as a side effect. After bowel surgery, sedation can mask signs of postoperative complications such as abdominal pain or changes in vital signs. Muscle weakness (
A), tinnitus (
C), and peripheral edema (
D) are not common adverse effects of metoclopramide and would not typically be monitored for in this situation. Sedation is the most relevant adverse effect to monitor for in a client post-bowel surgery, as it can impact the assessment and management of their recovery.
