Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a long-term care facility is collecting data from a client who has a new prescription for glyburide. The client reports feeling anxious and having profuse sweating. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Decreased blood glucose level. Glyburide is a sulfonylurea medication that works by increasing insulin release from the pancreas, leading to a decrease in blood glucose levels. The client's symptoms of anxiety and profuse sweating are indicative of hypoglycemia, which is a common side effect of sulfonylureas like glyburide.
Therefore, the nurse should expect a decreased blood glucose level as a result of the medication.
Choice A, Positive Chvostek's sign, is associated with hypocalcemia, not hypoglycemia.
Choice B, Decreased deep-tendon reflexes, is not typically associated with glyburide use.
Choice C, Pitting pedal edema, is more indicative of fluid retention rather than hypoglycemia.
