A client with hypertension and benign prostate hyperplasia is prescribed doxazosin (Cardura). Which of the following statements below would the nurse emphasize regarding doxazosin (Cardura)?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Daily weight monitoring is not specifically required with doxazosin and is more relevant for medications that may cause fluid retention or significant weight changes. B. First-dose hypotension is a common and significant side effect of doxazosin, and advising the patient to lie down after the first dose helps mitigate the risk of dizziness and falls. C. Impaired taste is not a known side effect of doxazosin, making this statement inaccurate. D. While potassium intake is important for overall health, doxazosin does not typically require dietary potassium adjustments.
