A nurse is caring for a client who is receiving ondansetron IV. Which of the following findings is an indication that the ondansetron is effective?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A: Decreased nausea. Ondansetron is an antiemetic medication used to treat nausea and vomiting. Therefore, a decrease in nausea indicates that the medication is effective in managing the client's symptoms. Reduced dizziness (B) and absence of peripheral neuropathy (D) are not directly related to the action of ondansetron. Increased urinary output (C) is not a typical effect of ondansetron.
