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 stimulating the pancreas to release more insulin, which can lead to hypoglycemia. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include anxiety, sweating, and other autonomic symptoms.
Therefore, the nurse should expect a decreased blood glucose level in a client experiencing these symptoms.
Explanation for other choices:
A: Positive Chvostek's sign is associated with hypocalcemia, not hypoglycemia.
B: Pitting pedal edema is a sign of fluid retention and is not directly related to glyburide use.
C: Decreased deep-tendon reflexes are not typically associated with glyburide use but can be seen in conditions like hypothyroidism or peripheral neuropathy.
