A client is prescribed amiloride 10 mg orally daily for the treatment of hypertension. Which instruction should the nurse give the client regarding its administration?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Amiloride is a potassium-retaining diuretic used to treat edema or hypertension. A daily dose should be taken in the morning to avoid nocturia.

The dose should be taken with food to increase bioavailability.
