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, if the client is receiving ondansetron IV and their nausea is decreased, it indicates that the medication is effective in managing their symptoms. Reduced dizziness (B) and absence of peripheral neuropathy (D) are not direct indicators of ondansetron effectiveness. Increased urinary output (C) is not related to the medication's mechanism of action.
