Question 1 of 5

A nurse on a medical unit is planning care for an older adult client who takes several medications. Which of the following prescribed medications places the client at risk for orthostatic hypotension? (Select all that apply.)

Correct Answer: A,B,C

Rationale: The correct answer is A, B, and C. Duloxetine is an antidepressant known to cause orthostatic hypotension. Furosemide, a diuretic, can also lead to this condition by reducing blood volume. Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, can cause orthostatic hypotension by lowering blood pressure. Atorvastatin and clopidogrel do not typically lead to orthostatic hypotension.
Therefore, choices D and E are incorrect in this scenario. A comprehensive review of the client's medications and their potential side effects is crucial in identifying the risk factors for orthostatic hypotension.
