Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has a history of cardiac arrhythmias and is taking verapamil. For which of the following reasons should the nurse consult the pharmacist?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C:
To assess compatibility of the verapamil with newly ordered medications. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that can interact with other medications, leading to potential adverse effects or reduced effectiveness. Consulting the pharmacist will ensure that there are no harmful drug interactions when new medications are added.

A: Verifying the frequency of administration is important but does not necessarily require pharmacist consultation.
B: Reporting the client's refusal to take verapamil is important but does not directly relate to the pharmacist.
D: Requesting a change in dosage may be necessary, but this decision should be based on the client's response and not solely on consultation with the pharmacist.
