The nurse is caring for a client who has an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The physician explains to the client that the aneurysm is small and that the client will be managed medically. Based on this information, it is most important that the nurse reinforces discharge teaching about:

A. Preventing thrombus formation is more relevant in other vascular conditions, not the primary focus for small aneurysms managed medically. B. Monitoring for bleeding is more critical post-surgery or with large aneurysms at risk of rupture. C. Adherence to antihypertensive medications is crucial to control blood pressure and reduce stress on the aneurysm wall, helping prevent enlargement or rupture. D. Monitoring for dysrhythmias is not a primary concern related to small abdominal aortic aneurysms.
