Question 1 of 5

A patient who has type 2 diabetes is scheduled for an oral endoscopy and has been NPO (nothing by mouth) since midnight. What is the best action by the nurse regarding the administration of her oral antidiabetic drugs?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Contact the prescriber to clarify orders. This is the best action because the patient is NPO, and oral antidiabetic drugs should not be administered without clear instructions from the prescriber. Withholding all medications (choice
A) can lead to uncontrolled blood sugar levels. Administering half the dose (choice
C) may not be appropriate without prescriber approval. Giving the medication with water (choice
