Question 1 of 5
A patient is receiving medication to increase urine output. The patient's urinary output increases significantly and the blood pressure decreases slightly. Which type of side effect is a decrease in blood pressure?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Common. When a patient is receiving medication to increase urine output, a decrease in blood pressure is a common side effect. This is because increasing urine output can lead to fluid loss, resulting in a decrease in blood volume and subsequently blood pressure. It is common for diuretics, which increase urine output, to cause a slight decrease in blood pressure as a side effect. Other choices are incorrect because a decrease in blood pressure in this context is not necessarily desired (
B), therapeutic (
C), or any other specific type of side effect (D, E, F, G).
