Question 1 of 5

When administering norepinephrine (Levophed), the nurse monitors the patient for:

A. Hypotension B. Liver failure C. Bradycardia D. Hypertension

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypertension. Norepinephrine is a vasopressor that increases blood pressure by constricting blood vessels.
Therefore, monitoring for hypertension is crucial to prevent adverse effects like stroke or myocardial infarction. Hypotension (
A) is an expected finding in patients receiving norepinephrine. Liver failure (
B) is not directly related to norepinephrine administration. Bradycardia (
C) is not a common effect of norepinephrine, as it tends to increase heart rate.
