Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Medications such as diazepam (Valium) can decrease the rate and depth of respirations. Older clients are at high risk of respiratory depression. The nurse must carefully monitor respiratory status in this client.
Rationale 2: Diazepam (Valium) does not affect urine output.
Rationale 3: Diazepam (Valium) does not affect muscle tone.
Rationale 4: Diazepam (Valium) does not affect appetite.
