Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice B rationale

Withholding the medication and notifying the provider is the appropriate intervention when a client's blood pressure is significantly low, such as 80/60 mmHg. Administering metoprolol, a beta-blocker, in this scenario could further lower the blood pressure, causing more harm. The provider needs to be informed to reassess the treatment plan.
