The client is currently taking Ginger

The client has a history of hypertension

The client has no intention of conceiving within the year

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

B. Ginger does not interact adversely with progestin-only pills and is not a contraindication.
C. A history of hypertension can increase the risk of cardiovascular events, and while POPs are generally safer than combined hormonal contraceptives for women with hypertension, it should still be monitored and reported to the healthcare provider.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Daily weight monitoring is not specifically indicated for doxazosin, and significant weight loss is typically not a primary concern with this medication.
B. Doxazosin can cause first-dose hypotension, leading to dizziness; thus, the client should be advised to lie down after the initial dose to minimize this risk.
C. Increasing potassium intake is not necessary with doxazosin; there are no direct interactions that would warrant dietary changes regarding potassium.
D. Impaired taste is not a commonly reported side effect of doxazosin; this statement is misleading and not relevant to the medication's profile.

A. "What does your usual pill look like?" B. "This is the medication prescribed by your provider." C. "This hospital might use a different manufacturer, but the medication is the same." D. "This pill is probably from a different lot number than yours at home."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Asking what the usual pill looks like may not provide clarity and does not address the client's concern directly.
B. While the statement is accurate, it does not provide the client with reassurance or address the reason for the difference in appearance.
C. This response acknowledges the client's concern, offers an explanation about variations in medication appearance due to different manufacturers, and reassures the client that it is the same medication prescribed.
D. Suggesting that the pill is from a different lot number does not address the fact that variations in appearance can occur due to different manufacturers, which is more common and relevant to the situation.
