Question 1 of 5
Before administering the initial dose of sumatriptan succinate to a client with a migraine headache, it is most important to determine if the client’s history includes which problem?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Coronary artery disease. It is crucial to assess for coronary artery disease before administering sumatriptan succinate because this medication can cause vasoconstriction. In individuals with a history of coronary artery disease, vasoconstriction can potentially lead to ischemia or angina. Assessing for coronary artery disease helps ensure the safety of the client and prevents potential adverse effects. Irritable bowel syndrome (choice
A), seasonal allergic rhinitis (choice
C), and type 2 diabetes mellitus (choice
D) are not directly contraindicated with sumatriptan succinate use.
