A patient presents a new prescription order for labetalol. The patient’s computer profile shows the following medications: glyburide, albuterol, furosemide, atenolol, and amlodipine. The labetalol prescription order is a therapeutic duplication of:
A. amlodipine
B. atenolol
C. furosemide.
D. albuterol
The labetalol prescription order is a therapeutic duplication of:
B. atenolol
Both labetalol and atenolol are beta-blockers. Prescribing both medications simultaneously would constitute therapeutic duplication, as they have similar mechanisms of action and effects on the cardiovascular system.
