Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Blood pressure monitoring is necessary when a patient is taking doxazosin mesylate, as it can cause hypotension. Therefore, measuring blood pressure will help determine if the patient can tolerate the medication. Urine volume and finasteride dose are not directly related to blood pressure, while surgery is usually not indicated for benign prostatic hypertrophy unless there are complications.
