A client with benign prostatic receives a new prescription of tamsulosin. Which intervention should the nurse use to monitor an adverse reaction?
Correct answer
C

Tamsulosin, an alpha-blocker, risks hypotension, causing dizziness or fainting. Monitoring blood pressure (C) detects this adverse effect. Urine output (A), bladder scans (B), and weights (D) are unrelated.
