:
The nurse should assess the patient's alcohol consumption
before therapy is initiated. Concomitant alcohol use increases
the rate of glyburide metabolism and may cause a disulfiramlike reaction. Even though the patient's blood pressure should be
assessed, it is not as important as making sure that the patient
is aware of the serious reaction that alcohol can cause while on
glyburide. The amount of salt used in the patient's diet is
important as well as the patient's potassium level, but not
specifically in relation to the use of glyburide.
