Before administering the initial dose of sumatriptan succinate to a client with a migraine headache, it is most important to determine if the client's history includes which problem?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Sumatriptan causes vasoconstriction, which can exacerbate coronary artery disease, making this history critical to assess. IBS, rhinitis, and diabetes are not contraindications.
