Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
With arteriolar smooth muscle relaxation, there is an increase in heart rate. Pale skin, increased urinary output, and cool extremities are not physiologic responses to hydralazine.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
If faintness or dizziness occurs, the nurse instructs the patient to sit or lie down and to change positions more slowly. Advising the patient to increase dietary sodium, informing the patient to discontinue the medication, and instructing the patient to monitor weight are not accurate interventions.
