A nurse is caring for a client with hypertension that is prescribed metoprolol due at 0900.
The nurse took the client's blood pressure at 0855, and it was noted to be 80/60. The client also notes that he feels dizzy and weak.
What is the next intervention for the nurse?

Choice A rationale

Gemfibrozil is a fibrate that reduces triglycerides and increases HDL cholesterol, commonly used to treat hyperlipidemia.

Choice B rationale

Simvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, reducing LDL cholesterol levels and is used in managing hyperlipidemia.

Choice C rationale

Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor used to manage hypertension and heart failure, not typically used for hyperlipidemia.

Choice D rationale

Warfarin is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots and is not used for treating hyperlipidemia.

Choice E rationale

Fenofibrate is another fibrate like gemfibrozil, used to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol, making it an anti-lipemic medication.

Choice A rationale

Morphine has a high potential for abuse due to its euphoric effects and the risk of developing physical dependence and addiction with prolonged use.

Choice B rationale

Morphine acts as an agonist on the mu and kappa receptors in the central nervous system, providing analgesic effects by altering the perception of and response to pain.

Choice C rationale

Morphine is a potent analgesic that is more effective than butorphanol, which is a mixed agonist-antagonist with less potency and a ceiling effect on pain relief.

Choice D rationale

Morphine is primarily used for pain management and is not indicated for preventing fevers.
