Answer to Question 1

C
Respecting the patient's cultural beliefs, including religion, and incorporating them into patient care can reduce anxiety and increase trust.

Answer to Question 2

A
Antihypertensive drugs lower blood pressure, placing the patient at increased risk for dizziness and hypotension. Changing positions slowly gives the body time to adjust, preventing dizziness and falls. The patient can get up at home without assistance if he or she changes positions slowly. Some, but not all, over-the-counter drugs may not be safe with these drugs. The nurse should teach the patient to always consult with the prescriber before taking an over-the-counter drug.
