The client prescribed an adrenergic antagonist should be instructed to weigh themselves daily, at the same time each day, and to monitor their blood pressure and pulse. They should also be instructed to notify their healthcare provider with any weight gain or loss of 2 pounds in one day. It is not appropriate to tell the client to stop taking the medication if dizziness occurs, as this may be a side effect that subsides over time and sudden discontinuation of the medication can be dangerous.
