NCLEX PN Practice Tests Practice Question
An adult is receiving cancer chemotherapy. Metoclopramide (Reglan) is also prescribed. The client asks why she is getting Reglan. How should the nurse respond?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Metoclopramide (Reglan) is primarily used to prevent nausea and vomiting, particularly in patients undergoing chemotherapy, making option B the most accurate response.
Option A is incorrect; Reglan does not prevent bleeding, which is more commonly associated with anticoagulants or certain chemotherapy agents.
Option C is misleading; while Reglan can enhance gastrointestinal motility, it does not directly increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs.
Option D is also incorrect; Reglan is not indicated for pain control, as it is not an analgesic.
