    A nurse accidently administers metformin instead of metoprolol to a client. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. HDL level is not directly relevant to the error of administering metformin instead of metoprolol. B. Uric acid level is not a priority following this medication error. C. Checking the client's glucose level is the priority because metformin is used to treat type 2 diabetes, and its administration could lead to hypoglycemia if the client was not already on a diabetic regimen. D. Monitoring thyroid function is not relevant to this error.
