Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching for a client who is newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and has a prescription for glipizide. Which of the following statements by the nurse best describes the action of glipizide?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Glipizide stimulates the pancreas to release insulin. Glipizide belongs to a class of medications called sulfonylureas, which work by stimulating the beta cells in the pancreas to release insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Option A is incorrect because glipizide does not absorb excess carbohydrates. Option B is incorrect because glipizide does not prevent the liver from destroying insulin. Option D is incorrect because glipizide does not replace insulin that is not being produced by the pancreas.
