A nurse administers a dose of metformin to a client instead of the prescribed dose of metoclopramidWhich of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Check the client's blood glucose. This is the first action the nurse should take because metformin is used to treat diabetes and can lower blood sugar levels. Checking the client's blood glucose will help assess if the client is experiencing hypoglycemia due to the medication error. Reporting the incident to the charge nurse (
A) and filling out an incident report (
D) are important steps, but assessing the client's immediate condition takes priority. Notifying the provider (
B) can be done after ensuring the client's safety. The other options are not relevant to addressing the immediate concern of potential hypoglycemia.
