Question

Answer 1

See Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

I cannot determine the exact information that was taught to the client. However, here are some common things that patients taking isosorbide dinitrate for angina are typically advised to avoid.

• Taking erectile dysfunction medications (such as sildenafil or tadalafil) or recreational drugs (such as amyl nitrate or "poppers") that contain nitrates, as this can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• Drinking alcohol, as this can also lower blood pressure and increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and lightheadedness.
• Getting up too quickly from a sitting or lying position, as this can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure and lead to falls or fainting.
• Stopping the medication suddenly without first talking to their healthcare provider, as this can cause a rebound effect and worsen angina symptoms.

• Patients are advised to follow their healthcare provider's instructions and ask any questions they may have about their medication and its potential side effects.
