Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for verapamil. Which of the following beverages should the nurse tell the client to avoid while taking this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Grapefruit juice. Verapamil can interact with grapefruit juice and increase the levels of the medication in the body, leading to potential toxicity. Grapefruit juice inhibits the enzyme that metabolizes verapamil, causing it to accumulate. Orange juice, milk, and coffee do not have significant interactions with verapamil.
Therefore, the nurse should advise the client to avoid grapefruit juice to prevent adverse effects.
