Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client who has a finger stick blood glucose level of 130 mg/dL (7.21 mmol/L). Prior to administering the scheduled dose of acarbose, the nurse is informed that morning meal trays will be 30 minutes late. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acarbose, an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor, must be taken with the first bite of a meal to manage postprandial glucose. Holding it until the meal arrives ensures proper timing and efficacy. Administering early, notifying the provider, or rechecking glucose are unnecessary.
