Question 1 of 5
The emergency department nurse is administering IV lidocaine to patients. What adverse effect of lidocaine therapy should the nurse assess for?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Dizziness. Lidocaine is a local anesthetic that can cause dizziness as an adverse effect due to its effect on the central nervous system. The nurse should assess for dizziness as it can impact the patient's safety and may indicate toxicity. Tinnitus (
A) is a potential side effect of lidocaine, but it is less common than dizziness. Dysphagia (
C) is not a typical adverse effect of lidocaine. Excessive bruising (
D) is not associated with lidocaine therapy.
