Simulated
The nurse is caring for a client with the following clinical data. Which medication would the nurse clarify with the primary healthcare provider (PHCP) before administration based on the vital signs?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Atenolol, a beta-blocker, may need clarification if the client has bradycardia or hypotension, as it can exacerbate these conditions. Simvastatin, albuterol, and spironolactone are less affected by vital signs.
