What instruction should the nurse give a diabetic patient on insulin when propranolol is prescribed?
 
  1. You need to increase your insulin to allow for the additive effects of the propranolol.
  2. Propranolol may potentiate the effects of the insulin, so the dose should be reduced.
  3. Propranolol has no effects on diabetes or on insulin requirements.
  4. Propranolol may mask signs of hypoglycemia. Use signs other than rapid heart rate to know when your glucose is too low.

Question 2

The nurse prepares to administer the prescribed dose of propranolol to a patient recovering from acute myocardial infarction. When the pulse is checked, the rate is 42 and the rhythm is regular. Select the nurse's best action(s).
 
  You may select more than one answer.
  1. Administer the drug as prescribed.
  2. Delay this dose for 2 hours.
  3. Withhold the current dose.
  4. Document the action and rationale.
  5. Notify the prescriber.
