Question 1 of 5
The nurse prepares to administer a scheduled dose of labetalol PO to a client with hypertension. The client's vital signs are a temperature of 99° F (37.2° C), a heart rate of 48 beats/minute, respirations of 16 breaths/minute, and a blood pressure of 150/90 mm Hg. Which action should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: A heart rate of 48 beats/minute indicates bradycardia, a concern with labetalol (a beta-blocker). Withholding the dose and notifying the provider is appropriate to prevent worsening bradycardia.
