Which statement, made by a client receiving pharmacologic therapy for hypertension, indicates a need for further clarification by the nurse?

A. "I should continue to read the labels of foods I select in the grocery store.": This statement is appropriate as reading labels helps the client avoid high sodium and unhealthy fats, which can negatively impact blood pressure. B. "When I get out of bed in the morning, I should first sit for a few minutes and then stand.": This statement reflects a good understanding of managing potential orthostatic hypotension, which can occur with antihypertensive medications. It indicates awareness of the need to rise slowly to prevent dizziness. C. "I will be able to stop my anti-hypertensive medication when my blood pressure is normal.": This statement indicates a need for clarification. Many patients believe that once their blood pressure is normal, they can discontinue medication, but hypertension is often a chronic condition that requires ongoing management to maintain blood pressure control. D. "Keeping my blood pressure under control reduces my risk for a heart attack.": This statement is accurate and demonstrates an understanding of the importance of hypertension management in reducing cardiovascular risk.
