A patient who has been taking propranolol (Inderal) for 18 months reports, I stopped taking the medication yesterday, because my blood pressure has been normal for the past 3 months.
 
   The most appropriate response by the nurse would be which of the following statements? a. Keep an accurate record of your blood pressure and come to the clinic next week.
  b. Have you had any chest pain or palpitations?
  c. You should come to the emergency department immediately. The drug should be tapered over 2 weeks to prevent rebound hypertension.
  d. Continue taking the medication until another can be started to prevent with-drawal symptoms.
