Asking if the client is allergic to any medications, taking any herbal or OTC medications, the type of diet they follow, and any other medications they are currently taking are all important questions to assess before administering medications to a client with diabetes mellitus. Additionally, the difficulty of maintaining ideal body weight may be important to assess for overall health, but is not directly related to medication administration.
