    Which of the following statements is important to include in patient teaching about hydralazine?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Hydralazine is an antihypertensive that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. Frequent monitoring is important to ensure effectiveness and prevent hypotension, especially when starting therapy or adjusting the dose. B. Clients are generally encouraged to maintain adequate fluid intake unless otherwise restricted; fluid restriction is not a standard precaution with hydralazine. C. Grapefruit juice does not have a known interaction with hydralazine; this instruction is unnecessary. D. Clients should not skip doses based on current blood pressure readings without consulting their healthcare provider, as this can lead to unstable blood pressure control.Top of FormBottom of Form
