A client prescribed verapamil (Calan) to treat hypertension has gained 6 pounds in the past 3 days and is complaining of shortness of breath, constipation, ankle swelling, flushing, and dizziness. The client has been switched from verapamil to nifedipine (Procardia). The nurse understands the rationale for this change is that nifedipine (Procardia) will not cause which adverse effect?
1. Flushing
2. Dizziness
3. Heart failure
4. Constipation
