Question 1 of 5
A client with type 1 diabetes is taking propranolol [Inderal], acting confused, and reports weakness and feeling shaky. What must the nurse check first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Capillary blood glucose level. In this scenario, the client is displaying symptoms of hypoglycemia, which can be induced by propranolol in diabetic patients. Checking the blood glucose level is crucial as hypoglycemia can be life-threatening. Renal function tests (
A) are not directly related to the symptoms presented. Blood pressure (
C) and serum electrolyte levels (
D) may be affected by propranolol but are not the priority in this situation.
