A nurse is reviewing the laboratory data of a patient who is scheduled for a liver biopsy. Which of the following values should the nurse report to the provider?

Choice A rationale

Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that affects the heart and circulation. It does not typically cause elevated blood glucose levels.

Choice B rationale

Metoprolol is used to treat high blood pressure, not increase it. It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate to improve blood flow and decrease blood pressure.

Choice C rationale

Metoprolol does not typically reduce bronchospasms. In fact, it can sometimes cause breathing problems such as shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing.

Choice D rationale

Metoprolol is known to lower heart rate. This is one of the ways it helps to reduce blood pressure and relieve strains on the heart.

Choice A rationale

Limiting physical activity until bladder continence is achieved is not typically part of a bladder training program. Physical activity can actually help improve bladder control by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles.

Choice B rationale

Instructing the client to void at scheduled times throughout the day is a key component of bladder training. This helps retrain the bladder to hold urine for longer periods and reduces episodes of incontinence.

Choice C rationale

Instructing the client to void as soon as they feel the urge is not typically part of a bladder training program. The goal of bladder training is to gradually extend the time between voids.

Choice D rationale

Encouraging the client to contract the abdominal muscles when they experience the urge to void is not typically part of a bladder training program. This could potentially lead to more leakage.
