ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor Proctored Exam
A nurse is reinforcing teaching about the side effects of metoprolol. Which of the following client statements indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A reason: Metoprolol, a beta-blocker, lowers BP, causing orthostatic hypotension. Caution when standing prevents falls, showing grasp of this key side effect.Choice B reason: Leafy greens affect warfarin, not metoprolol. No dietary restriction applies, so this reflects confusion about beta-blocker side effects.Choice C reason: Weight gain, not loss, may occur with metoprolol from fluid retention. Expecting loss misinterprets its metabolic impact, indicating misunderstanding.Choice D reason: Taste loss isn’t a metoprolol effect; it’s linked to other drugs. This shows incorrect attribution of side effects to the medication.
