The primary concern is that Midodrine may cause slow heart rate when taken with Metoprolol that also reduces heart rate. https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/metoprolol-with-midodrine-1615-0-1629-0.htmlReview of Fundamentals of Nursing ([NAME] and [NAME]] revealed, Professional standards such as Nursing: Scope and Standards of Practice [ANA, 2010) .apply to the activity of medication administration.
