A client newly prescribed niacin (Nicotonic Acid) presents to the healthcare setting with complaints of flushing following doses. Which of the following medications would the nurse anticipate being administered?
Correct Answer: B

A: Calcium Channel Blockers, C: Beta Blockers, and D: Fibric Acid Derivatives do not directly address the mechanism of niacin-induced flushing and would not be effective in alleviating this side effect.
