A nurse is collecting data from a client who reports nausea and has vomited clear emesis. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D: Promethazine. Promethazine is an antiemetic medication commonly used to treat nausea and vomiting. It works by blocking dopamine receptors in the brain, reducing the feeling of nausea. Meperidine (A) is a pain medication and not indicated for nausea. Diazepam (B) is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety and seizures, not for nausea. Naloxone (C) is an opioid antagonist used for opioid overdose, not for nausea.
