Monitor blood glucose closely. and look for signs of hypoglycemia.

When a client who has taken an oral antidiabetic agent vomits. the nurse would monitor glucose and assess him frequently for signs of hypoglycemia. Most of the medication has probably been absorbed. Therefore. repeating the dose would further lower glucose levels later in the day. Giving insulin would also lower the glucose levels. causing hypoglycemic. The client wouldnt have hyperglycemia if the glyburide was absorbed.
