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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Check the client's glucose level. Metformin is a medication used to treat diabetes by lowering blood sugar levels. Given accidentally instead of metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker for blood pressure, the nurse must monitor the client's glucose level to assess for hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia due to the mix-up. Monitoring glucose levels promptly allows for timely intervention if needed.
Other choices are incorrect because:
A: Monitoring thyroid function levels is not necessary in this situation.
C: Obtaining HDL levels is not relevant to the medication error.
D: Collecting uric acid levels is unrelated to the administration error.
