Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has diabetes mellitus and a new prescription for glimepiride. The nurse should teach the client to avoid which of the following drinks while taking this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Alcohol. Glimepiride is a sulfonylurea medication used to treat diabetes by stimulating the pancreas to release insulin. Alcohol can potentiate the hypoglycemic effects of glimepiride, leading to dangerously low blood sugar levels. Milk, grapefruit juice, and coffee do not have significant interactions with glimepiride. It is important for the client to avoid alcohol consumption to prevent adverse reactions and ensure the effectiveness of the medication.
