Mouth dryness

Dizziness while sitting up

Blood glucose 218 mg/dL

Pain rated at 1/10

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is B

Choice A rationale

Mouth dryness is not a typical therapeutic result of minoxidil. It’s not listed as a common side effect either.

Choice B rationale

Dizziness is a known side effect of minoxidil. It can occur when the medication causes a drop in blood pressure, leading to lightheadedness or dizziness.

Choice C rationale

An elevated blood glucose level is not related to the administration of minoxidil. It could be an unrelated finding, possibly indicating another condition like diabetes.

Choice D rationale

Pain rated at 1/10 is not directly related to the therapeutic effect or side effects of minoxidil. It could be an unrelated finding.
