Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client with a new prescription for metformin (Glucophage). Which of the following findings should the nurse instruct the client to report as an adverse effect of metformin? (Select All That Apply.)
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Somnolence. Metformin does not typically cause hypoglycemia as it works by reducing glucose production in the liver. Fluid retention is not a common adverse effect of metformin. Hyperglycemia is the condition metformin is used to treat, so it would not be an adverse effect. Somnolence, or drowsiness, can occur as a side effect of metformin and may indicate a possible adverse reaction that should be reported to the healthcare provider to ensure appropriate management.
