Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take the medication early in the day. This is because hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that can increase urination frequency, so taking it early can reduce disruptions to sleep.
Choice A is incorrect as muscle pain is not a common adverse effect of hydrochlorothiazide.
Choice C is incorrect as weight monitoring is not a primary indicator of the drug's effectiveness.
Choice D is incorrect as hydrochlorothiazide can be taken with or without food, so taking it on an empty stomach is not necessary.
