A. Amlodipine 5 mg PO B. Diltiazem 60 mg PO C. Ibuprofen 500 mg PO D. Ciprofloxacin 500 mg PO

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Without specific vital signs, amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker) may be held if the client has hypotension, as it lowers blood pressure. Diltiazem may also lower blood pressure but is less likely to be held unless bradycardia is present. Ibuprofen and ciprofloxacin are less dependent on vital signs.
