Question 1 of 5
A nurse is monitoring a client's response to receiving glipizide instead of guaifenesin. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Offer the client a carbohydrate snack. Glipizide is an oral antidiabetic medication that can lower blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas. If the client receives glipizide instead of guaifenesin (an expectorant), there is a risk of hypoglycemia due to the medication's blood sugar-lowering effects. Offering a carbohydrate snack can help prevent or treat hypoglycemia by quickly raising blood sugar levels. Lowering the head of the bed (
A), checking for urinary retention (
B), and testing deep-tendon reflexes (
D) are not directly related to the client's response to glipizide.
