Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is newly prescribed with glipizide (Glucotrol) for Type 2 Diabetes. The nurse understands that complications of glipizide (Glucotrol) include

A. weight gain B. weight loss C. GI side effects D. hypoglycemia E. hyperglycemia F. hypertriglyceridemia

Correct Answer: A,E

Rationale: The correct answer is A and E. Weight gain can be a side effect of glipizide due to its mechanism of action increasing insulin secretion, which can lead to increased fat storage. Hyperglycemia can occur as a complication if the dosage of glipizide is too high or if the client's diet or exercise regimen is not properly managed.
Choice B is incorrect because weight loss is not a common side effect of glipizide.
Choice C, GI side effects, are possible with glipizide but not as common as the other complications listed.
Choice D, hypoglycemia, is a potential complication of glipizide due to its ability to lower blood sugar levels.
Choice F, hypertriglyceridemia, is not typically associated with glipizide use.
