HESI RN 301 Pharmacology Final Exam Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

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.
