A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has hypertension and a new prescription for hydrochlorothiazide. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?

A. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, which increases urination. Taking it early in the day helps prevent the need to frequently urinate during the night, improving the client's comfort and sleep quality. B. Weighing weekly is not specifically necessary for monitoring the therapeutic effect of hydrochlorothiazide. Daily weight checks might be more appropriate if the client is at risk for fluid imbalances. C. Muscle pain is not a typical or expected adverse effect of hydrochlorothiazide. If muscle pain occurs, the nurse should investigate other potential causes, such as electrolyte imbalances. D. This medication can be taken with or without food, so taking it on an empty stomach is not necessary for its effectiveness.
