ATI RN Pharmacology 2019 Exam 6 Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

A nurse accidentally administers the medication metformin instead of metoprolol to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Check the client's glucose level. Metformin is a medication used to treat diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. Administering metformin instead of metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can lead to hypoglycemia in the client. Checking the client's glucose level immediately allows the nurse to assess if the client's blood sugar is within a safe range or if intervention is needed.


Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they are not relevant to the situation. Uric acid level, HDL level, and thyroid function levels are unrelated to the administration error in this scenario. The priority here is to address the potential hypoglycemia resulting from the wrong medication.
