Practice Question

The nurse is preparing to administer Reglan to a patient. She is most concerned by the following information in the patient's medical record?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Allergy to corn

Rationale:

🌽 Allergy to corn — This is correct because some formulations of metoclopramide (Reglan) may contain corn-derived ingredients. Administering this medication to a patient with a corn allergy could result in a serious hypersensitivity reaction. Therefore, this is the most concerning finding and requires contacting the provider or pharmacy for an alternative.

🌽 Past medical history of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) — This is incorrect because Reglan does not directly worsen BPH or cause urinary retention, unlike some antihistamines or anticholinergics.

🌽 Blood pressure of 132/82 — This is incorrect because it is within a normal range and does not pose a risk when taking Reglan.

🌽 Past medical history of gout — This is incorrect because Reglan is not contraindicated in clients with gout and does not affect uric acid levels.
