Question 1 of 5
An older adult client will be taking a vasodilator for hypertension. Which adverse effect is of most concern for the older adult client taking this class of drug?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Hypotension. Vasodilators dilate blood vessels, leading to decreased blood pressure. In older adults, vasodilators can cause a significant drop in blood pressure, potentially leading to dizziness, falls, and other serious complications. Dry mouth (
A), restlessness (
B), and constipation (
C) are not typically associated with vasodilators. In summary, hypotension is the most concerning adverse effect for older adult clients taking vasodilators due to the risk of serious consequences like falls.
