Question

A client with long-term hypertension and hypercholesterolemia comes to the clinic for an annual checkup. The client takes nifedipine, simvastatin, and spironolactone and reports some occasional dizziness. Which statement by the client would warrant intervention by the nurse?
1. "I've been better about walking for 20 minutes 3 days a week on my treadmill."
2. "I've been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. I discovered that I really like grapefruit."
3. "I've heard that having a glass of red wine with dinner every night is good for my heart."
4. "We no longer add salt when preparing meals. It has really been hard to get used to that."

Answer 1

Answer:

OPTION (2) is CORRECT.

Explanation:

A client with long-term hypertension and hypercholesterolemia comes to the clinic for an annual checkup. The client takes nifedipine, simvastatin, and spironolactone and reports some occasional dizziness.

"I've been trying to eat more fruits and vegetables. I discovered that I really like grapefruit." This statement by the client would warrant intervention by the nurse. As it is mentioned above that clients take a hypolipidemic drug used to control hypercholesterolemia and to prevent cardiovascular disease, so according to me it helped her to discover what she likes.
