ATI nurs 180 Pharmacology Final Proctored Exam
The nurse is preparing to assist in the sedation of a client with propofol (Diprivan) prior to surgery. Which of the following contraindications associated with propofol (Diprivan) should the nurse assess for?
Explanation & Rationale
A. A history of hypertension is not a direct contraindication for propofol, although it should be monitored as part of overall management. B. Benzodiazepine abuse/dependence does not contraindicate the use of propofol but may require careful assessment of sedation and anesthesia needs. C. Propofol contains soy lecithin and egg phosphatide, making allergies to these products a significant contraindication, as they can lead to severe allergic reactions. D. An allergy to latex is not a contraindication for propofol use but should be addressed in the overall anesthesia plan regarding equipment and supplies.
