Question 1 of 5
A client is receiving tamsulosin, an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent, for the management of urinary retention due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Which instruction is most important for the nurse to provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Stand and sit up slowly. Tamsulosin can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up quickly. Instructing the client to stand and sit up slowly can help prevent falls and injury. Taking the medication early in the day (choice
A) is not as crucial for this medication. Reducing daily fluid intake (choice
C) is not necessary and could potentially exacerbate urinary retention. Using a twice-a-week dosing schedule (choice
D) is incorrect as tamsulosin is typically taken once daily.
