A nurse is reinforcing teaching about saturated fats with a client who is at risk for cardiovascular disease. Which of the following cooking fats should the nurse recommend the client use?

Choice A reason: Isoniazid is an antitubercular drug that can cause urine to turn dark yellow or brown, not red-orange.

Choice B reason: Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can cause urine to turn blue-green, not red-orange.

Choice C reason: Rifampin is an antitubercular drug that can cause urine to turn red-orange, as well as other body fluids such as saliva, sweat, and tears.

Choice D reason: Furosemide is a diuretic that can cause urine to become more concentrated and darker in color, but not red-orange.

Choice A reason: Withholding the medication if the systolic blood pressure is less than 90 mm Hg is an appropriate action, as propranolol is a beta-blocker that can lower blood pressure and cause hypotension, which can impair tissue perfusion and cause dizziness, fainting, or shock.

Choice B reason: Requesting a dosage increase if the apical heart rate is less than 60/min is an inappropriate action, as propranolol can slow down the heart rate and cause bradycardia, which can lead to fatigue, weakness, or cardiac arrest. The nurse should monitor the apical pulse before administering propranolol and withhold it if it is less than 60/min.

Choice C reason: Informing the client to expect increased hair growth is an incorrect statement, as propranolol does not cause hypertrichosis or excessive hair growth. However, another beta-blocker, minoxidil, can cause this side effect.

Choice D reason: Administering the medication with an antacid is not an appropriate action, as antacids can interfere with the absorption of propranolol and reduce its effectiveness. The nurse should administer propranolol on an empty stomach or with food that does not contain antacids.
