Question 1 of 5
A nurse accidently administers 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 it instead of metoprolol, a beta-blocker, can lead to hypoglycemia. Checking the client's glucose level is crucial to monitor for and address any potential hypoglycemia. Obtaining the client's HDL level (
B), monitoring thyroid function levels (
C), or collecting uric acid level (
D) are not relevant in this situation and would not provide immediate information on the client's condition.
