Ans: C
Feedback:
Urinary retention may result from doxapram administration, so the nurse should measure fluid intake and output and notify the primary health care provider if any problems occur. Analeptics do not cause impaired vision or tinnitus, nor do they cause tachycardia, so monitoring visual acuity, heart rate, and auditory function are not indicated.
