increased acidity. C) Inspect the client's

toxicity (C). (A, B, and D) are not typical interventions associated with the
administration of antimetabolites.

An adult client is given a prescription for a scopolamine patch
(Transderm Scop) to prevent motion sickness while on a cruise. Which
information should the nurse provide to the client?
A) Apply the patch at least 4 hours prior to departure.
B) Change the patch every other day while on the cruise.
C) Place the patch on a hairless area at the base of the skull.
D) Drink no more than 2 alcoholic drinks
during the cruise. A) Apply the patch at least 4
hours prior to departure.
Scopolamine, an anticholinergic agent, is used to prevent motion sickness and
has a peak onset in 6 hours, so the client should be instructed to apply the
patch at least 4 hours before departure (A) on the cruise ship. The duration of
the transdermal patch is 72 hours, so (B) is not needed.
