A nurse is caring for a client who is newly diagnosed with cervical cancer.
What type of genes can cause cancer?

Choice A rationale

Metformin is an oral diabetes medication that can interact with iodine-containing contrast dye, potentially leading to lactic acidosis.

Choice B rationale

Levothyroxine is used to treat hypothyroidism and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.

Choice C rationale

Insulin Lispro is a rapid-acting insulin used to control blood sugar levels in diabetes and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.

Choice D rationale

NPH Insulin is an intermediate-acting insulin used to control blood sugar levels and does not interact with iodine-containing contrast dye.

Choice A rationale

Metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic blocker that works by decreasing heart rate, myocardial contractility, and cardiac output. It is commonly used to treat hypertension by reducing the workload on the heart and lowering blood pressure.

Choice B rationale

Nitroglycerin is a vasodilator that is used to treat angina by dilating blood vessels and improving blood flow to the heart. It does not have the same mechanism of action as beta-adrenergic blockers.

Choice C rationale

Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It does not directly decrease heart rate or myocardial contractility like beta-adrenergic blockers.

Choice D rationale

Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic agent used to manage type 2 diabetes by improving insulin sensitivity and reducing glucose production in the liver. It is not used to treat hypertension and does not have the same mechanism of action as beta-adrenergic blockers.
