Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The correct answer is choice B. Peripheral edema of the ankles.

Choice A rationale:

A blood pressure of 148/94 mm Hg is elevated, but it is not an immediate contraindication for administering nifedipine. Nifedipine is often used to treat hypertension.

Choice B rationale:

Peripheral edema is a common side effect of nifedipine and can indicate worsening fluid retention. The nurse should contact the provider to assess the need for adjusting the medication or implementing additional interventions.

Choice C rationale:

A heart rate of 66/min is within the normal range (60-100/min) and does not require immediate action before administering nifedipine.

Choice D rationale:

An increased alkaline phosphatase level can indicate liver or bone disease, but it is not directly related to the administration of nifedipine. However, it should be monitored and discussed with the provider.

A. "Avoid foods that contain tyramine.” B. "Diazepam can cause drowsiness.”. C. "Grapefruit juice inactivates this medication.”. D. "A single dose of diazepam is unlikely to cause side effects.”.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Foods containing tyramine need to be avoided when taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors, not diazepam.

Choice B rationale:

Diazepam, a benzodiazepine, can indeed cause drowsiness as a side effect.

Choice C rationale:

Grapefruit juice can affect the metabolism of certain medications, but diazepam is not one of them.

Choice D rationale:

Even a single dose of diazepam can cause side effects, including drowsiness.
