The nurse is caring for a client who experienced a severe headache. When the prescribed dose of analgesics did not cause relief, the client took double the dosage 1 hour later. The nurse should assess the client for what adverse effect?

A. heart rate is not the primary concern when assessing the interaction between NSAIDs and loop diuretics.

B. blood pressure is correct; the combination of an NSAID and a loop diuretic can lead to fluid retention, potentially elevating blood pressure. Monitoring blood pressure is crucial in this context.

C. cognition is not directly impacted by the combination of these medications.

D. assessment for signs of bleeding is important when taking NSAIDs due to their effect on platelet function, but the more immediate concern is the potential fluid retention affecting blood pressure.

A. Performing a blood sugar analysis is important, but the immediate symptoms indicate hypoglycemia, and rapid treatment is necessary before confirming blood sugar levels.

B. Having the client drink a glass of orange juice provides a quick source of glucose to counteract hypoglycemia, which is the most appropriate initial response to address the client's symptoms.

C. Administering 1 ampule of 50% dextrose intravenously is an appropriate intervention for severe hypoglycemia but is not the initial step for a client who can still take oral carbohydrates.

D. Administering insulin would worsen the client's condition by lowering blood sugar levels further, which is not indicated in this scenario.
