Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with hypertension and taking losartan. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following common side effects of this medication?
Correct Answer: B,D
Rationale: The correct answers are B (Dizziness) and D (Hypotension). Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker used to treat hypertension by relaxing blood vessels. Dizziness and hypotension are common side effects due to vasodilation, which can lower blood pressure too much. Monitoring for these side effects is crucial to prevent falls or other complications.
Choices A (Hypertension) and E (Tachycardia) are incorrect because losartan aims to lower blood pressure, not increase it.
Choice C (Hyperglycemia) is incorrect as losartan is not known to significantly affect blood sugar levels.
