Your patient is not responding to your loud verbal stimuli. You find the following medications: Glucophage and Lipitor. What is the likely cause of the patient’s problem?

Glucophage is a diabetic medication. You may not be able to identify what type of reaction your patient is having without more diagnostic testing but it puts you looking in the correct direction. The Lipitor may come into play later on in long term care but high cholesterol generally has no effect on mental status the way hypo or hyperglycemia will.
