Question 1 of 5

A nurse inadvertently administers 160 mg of valsartan PO to a client who was scheduled to receive 80 mg. Which of the following actions is the priority for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Evaluate the client for orthostatic hypotension. This is the priority because an overdose of valsartan, a medication used to treat hypertension, can lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure. Orthostatic hypotension is a potential complication that can result from this overdose, and it requires immediate assessment and intervention to prevent further complications such as falls or decreased perfusion to vital organs. Monitoring urine output (
B) is important for some medications but is not the priority in this case. Obtaining laboratory results (
C) may be necessary in the long term but is not urgent in this situation. Checking for nasal congestion (
D) is not relevant to the issue at hand.
