Monitoring blood pressure every 4 hours is important because hyperaldosteronism can cause hypertension. Limiting fluids or providing a potassium-restricted diet may not be necessary, as they are not directly related to the patient's condition. Elevating the patient's extremities may not necessarily relieve edema caused by hyperaldosteronism.
