Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to assist in the sedation of a client with propofol (Diprivan) prior to surgery. Which of the following contraindications associated with propofol (Diprivan) should the nurse assess for?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Allergies to egg or soy products. Propofol (Diprivan) contains egg lecithin and soybean oil as emulsifying agents. Clients with allergies to egg or soy products can experience an allergic reaction when administered propofol. Assessing for this contraindication is crucial to prevent potential adverse reactions.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because they are not directly related to propofol administration. Hypertension, benzodiazepine abuse/dependence, and latex allergies are not contraindications for propofol use. It is essential for the nurse to focus on the specific contraindications associated with the medication to ensure the client's safety during sedation.
