Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Bradycardia is not a common complication of ondansetron (Zofran). Instead, one should watch for changes in heart rhythm such as QT interval prolongation.

Choice B rationale

Absence of nausea indicates the desired effect of ondansetron, not a complication.

Choice C rationale

Ondansetron is associated with prolongation of the QT interval, not shortening. QT interval shortening is not a recognized complication.
