Two multiple-choice options
The nurse is caring for a client with type 2 diabetes who will have a computed
tomography (CT) angiography of the brain in 6 hours. It would require follow-up if
the nurse simply administered the prescription
Metformin
Why shouldn't a customer take metformin before to a CT scan?
Metformin may interfere with contrast dyes used in imaging techniques such as CT
angiography.
What is metformin?
It is used to treat type 2 diabetes by reducing glucose synthesis in the liver and
absorption in the GI tract while also improving GI sensitivity. - Typically causes GI
upset that resolves within two weeks.
What is acarbose used for?
Type 2 diabetes also helps avoid kidney damage, blindness, nerve difficulties, limb
loss, and sexual function problems.
, Glyburide is used for what?
Type 2 diabetes.
The nurse is instructing a client who is taking omeprazole. Which of the following
information should the nurse provide?
1. "Take the medication in the morning before eating breakfast."
2. "Black, tarry stools are an expected side effect of the medication."
3. "After taking the medication, remain in an upright position for at least 2 hours."
4. "Avoid consumption of grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking the
medication."
"After taking the medication, remain in an upright position for at least 2 hours."
Rationale: This is an important instruction for the client to reduce the risk of
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and guarantee that omeprazole works
optimally. Remaining upright after taking the drug prevents acid from rushing back
into the oesophagus, resulting in improved symptom relief.
A nurse and a coworker are in a semi-private room with their assigned clients. The
coworker hands the nurse a cup of drugs. The coworker says, "Please administer
these medications to my client." I must respond to another client's call light
promptly." The nurses should

before providing the drugs.
2. Place the medication cup on the client's bedside table with instructions to
self-administer the drugs.
3. Check the meds against the client's MAR before administering them.
