A nurse is caring for a client with renal impairment. the client has been prescribed an opioid analgesic. which nursing intervention would be most appropriate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Consult with the prescriber about lowering the dosage of the drug.

Explanation:

The nurse should lower the dosage of the drug when caring for a client with renal impairment who has been prescribed an opioid analgesic, but only after consulting with the prescriber and obtaining a prescription to do so. The nurse has to provide an aggressive bowel program to clients who experience an adverse reaction on their GI system due to the action of the opioid analgesics. Use of an antacid is recommended only if prescribed by the primary health care provider under specific circumstances. The nurse need not administer the drug through the IV route for a client with renal impairment who has been prescribed opioid analgesics.
