Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 64-year-old male client with diabetes who is being treated with a nonselective beta-blocker. What health education should the nurse prioritize with this client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. Nonselective beta-blockers can mask hypoglycemia symptoms in diabetic clients, making it crucial for the client to eat frequent small meals to prevent drops in blood sugar levels. This education is prioritized as it directly impacts the client's safety and management of diabetes.
Choice B is incorrect as frequent blood glucose checks are important but not specific to the effects of beta-blockers.
Choice C is incorrect as weekly weight checks do not directly address the potential hypoglycemia masking.
Choice D is incorrect as taking the apical pulse is not directly related to the client's diabetes management.
