Question 1 of 5
The nurse teaches the patient receiving propranolol (Inderal) at home for management of ventricular arrhythmias to monitor what parameter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Daily blood pressure. Monitoring daily blood pressure is crucial for a patient taking propranolol for ventricular arrhythmias as it helps assess the effectiveness of the medication in controlling the arrhythmias and ensuring the patient's safety. Changes in blood pressure can indicate potential side effects or worsening of the condition. Monitoring pulse alone (choice
A) may not provide a comprehensive picture of the cardiac status. Daily fluid intake (choice
B) and weekly weight (choice
D) are not specific parameters for monitoring the effects of propranolol on ventricular arrhythmias.
