A patient who is newly diagnosed with hypertension is to begin taking two antihypertensive medications. The primary care NP gives the patient written drug information and starts to discuss medication side effects.
 
  The patient interrupts and says, I don't want to know all that. Just tell me what to take and when. The NP should: a. explain that medication side effects can have serious consequences.
  b. ask the patient about previous experiences with medication side effects.
  c. give the patient a copy of the medication package insert to read at home.
  d. refer the patient to a website with information about hypertension drug therapy.
