Correct answer: CContinue monitoring at least overnight and until the bradycardia has resolved

Explanation lettering: E = shown as C · C = shown as E

E is correct. An adult heart rate below 45 bpm at six hours mandates extended monitoring, at least overnight, until resolution. A ignores the threshold. B is appropriate only for a still-falling rate without an overnight criterion. C risks compounding bradycardia; if pharmacological intervention is needed, overnight care and repeated monitoring after the second dose apply. D is not an authorised workaround.
