Ans: B
Feedback:
Rebound hypertension will occur in clients when antihypertensives are abruptly discontinued. In rebound hypertension, there is a sudden rise in blood pressure when the antihypertensives are withheld. Orthostatic hypotension, anginal attacks, and breathing difficulty are the adverse reactions associated with antihypertensive drug usage and may not occur on stopping the drug.
