ATI Pharmacology Final Exam I Questions

Extract:


Question 1 of 5

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

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Be sure to lie down after taking the first dose, because first-dose hypotension may make you dizzy. Doxazosin is an alpha-blocker used to treat hypertension and benign prostate hyperplasia. By lying down after the first dose, the client can minimize the risk of experiencing first-dose hypotension, which may cause dizziness due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. This precaution helps prevent falls and injuries. Option A is incorrect because weight loss is not a common side effect of doxazosin. Option C is incorrect as taste impairment is not commonly associated with this medication. Option D is incorrect because doxazosin does not impact potassium levels, so increasing potassium intake is unnecessary and potentially harmful.
