Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has hypertension and nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes mellitus. The nurse should expect to administer which of the following medications to slow the progression of the nephropathy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Losartan. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (AR
B) that is commonly used to slow the progression of nephropathy in clients with diabetes mellitus. It works by dilating blood vessels and reducing blood pressure, which helps to protect the kidneys from damage. This medication is specifically beneficial for clients with hypertension and nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sitagliptin (
A) and Glipizide (
B) are antidiabetic medications that do not directly address nephropathy. Metoprolol (
C) is a beta-blocker primarily used for hypertension and heart conditions but does not target nephropathy.
