A client with hypertension and benign prostate hyperplasia is prescribed doxazosin (Cardura). Which of the following statements below would the nurse emphasize regarding doxazosin (Cardura)?

Choice A about increasing potassium intake is unrelated to the medication.
Choice B about weighing daily is not specific to doxazosin and is more related to monitoring for fluid retention.
