Explanation & Rationale
Choice A rationale:A Positive Chvostek’s sign is a clinical finding associated with hypocalcemia, or low levels of calcium in the blood. It’s not directly related to glyburide usage or symptoms of anxiety and profuse sweating.Choice B rationale:Pitting pedal edema occurs when excess fluid builds up in the body, causing swelling. It’s not directly related to glyburide usage or symptoms of anxiety and profuse sweating.Choice C rationale:Decreased deep-tendon reflexes or hyporeflexia happens when your skeletal muscles have a decreased or absent reflex response. It’s not directly related to glyburide usage or symptoms of anxiety and profuse sweating.Choice D rationale:Decreased blood glucose level or hypoglycemia occurs when your blood sugar (glucose) level falls too low. Glyburide is an oral diabetes medicine that helps control blood sugar levels. Anxiety and profuse sweating are symptoms of low blood sugar.
