Final answer:
The statement that a patient should avoid grapefruit juice while taking verapamil indicates a proper understanding of managing its adverse effects, as grapefruit juice can increase its blood levels.
Step-by-step explanation:
A student has asked about the management of the adverse effects of verapamil, which is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure and angina. The correct statement that indicates an understanding about the management of these effects is a) "I will avoid grapefruit juice." Grapefruit juice can increase the levels of verapamil in the blood, potentially leading to more severe side effects. Taking verapamil with a high-fat meal (not recommended) can increase the drug's absorption, and thus its effects. It is not necessary to increase the intake of green leafy vegetables specifically because of verapamil use. And finally, while feeling dizzy can be a side effect of verapamil, one should not immediately stop taking the medication without consulting a healthcare provider, as suddenly stopping can worsen the heart condition.
