The client is at risk for injury because of his complaints of dizziness and weakness. There is no indication that the client is experiencing an infection or has a fluid volume deficit. Complaints of pain would lead to a nursing diagnosis of Acute Pain.

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat angina. Minoxidil and hydralazine are peripheral vasodilators. Isosorbide is a nitrate.
