Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking metformin (Glucophage) and is scheduled to undergo angiography using iodine-containing contrast dye. The nurse should identify that an interaction between metformin and the IV contrast dye increases the client's risk for which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hyperglycemia. The interaction between metformin and iodine-containing contrast dye can lead to lactic acidosis, a serious condition that can cause hyperglycemia. Metformin is excreted by the kidneys, and the contrast dye can impair kidney function, leading to metformin accumulation and lactic acidosis. Acute renal failure (
B), acute pancreatitis (
C), and acute liver failure (
D) are not directly associated with the interaction between metformin and contrast dye.
