A nurse is teaching a client who is taking metformin XR for type I diabetes mellitus. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Increased perspiration is more commonly associated with hypoglycemia or medications like sulfonylureas, not metformin. B. Metformin XR (extended-release) tablets should not be crushed or chewed, as this can alter the release mechanism and increase the risk of side effects. C. Metformin XR should be taken with a meal to reduce gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea and diarrhea. D. Orange-colored urine is not a known side effect of metformin; this is more commonly associated with medications like rifampin.
