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. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that can increase urination frequency. Taking it early in the day can prevent nocturia and sleep disturbances. Option A is incorrect because muscle pain is not a common adverse effect of hydrochlorothiazide. Option C is incorrect because weight should be monitored daily, not weekly, to assess fluid balance. Option D is incorrect because hydrochlorothiazide can be taken with or without food, so it does not need to be taken on an empty stomach.
