Question 1 of 5

The nurse is caring for a diabetic client who had a Coronary Angiography two hours ago. Which of the following orders should the nurse question?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Administering metformin should be questioned. Metformin is contraindicated within 48 hours of receiving contrast dye because of the risk of lactic acidosis, especially in clients with impaired renal function. Having the client lay flat for 4 hours is appropriate to prevent bleeding from the arterial puncture site. Monitoring the site for bleeding and hematoma formation is necessary to detect complications. Administering aspirin is appropriate to prevent clot formation post-procedure.
