Answer to Question 1
ANS: B
Dizziness is a common initial adverse effect of this medication, which is usually transient. The patient should be instructed to rise from a lying position slowly to avoid orthostatic hypotension and avoid falling. Medications should not be stopped immediately unless a serious adverse effect occurs. Because this is a common occurrence with ACE inhibitors, there is no need for a visit to the health care provider. A change in dosage will not alter the effect and should not be made without the advice of the primary care provider.
Answer to Question 2
ANS: D
The primary therapeutic outcome expected from angiotensin II receptor antagonists is reduction of blood pressure to within a normal range. Angiotensin II receptor antagonists bind angiotensin II receptor sites in the vascular smooth muscle, brain, heart, kidneys, and adrenal gland. The blood pressure-elevating (vasoconstricting) and sodium-retaining effects of angiotensin II are thus blocked. Weight loss, although advisable for treatment of hypertension, is not affected by ARBs. ARBs do not affect cholesterol levels. Urine output is not affected by ARBs.
