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 an anti-diabetic medication that can lower blood sugar levels, so checking the client's glucose level is crucial to monitor for hypoglycemia. A: Monitoring thyroid function levels is irrelevant as metoprolol and metformin do not directly impact thyroid function. C: Obtaining the client's HDL level is unrelated to the medication error. D: Collecting the client's uric acid level is not necessary in this situation. Checking the glucose level is the most immediate and appropriate action to ensure the client's safety.
