Ans: B
Feedback:
Dizziness is a common central nervous system adverse effect seen with calcium channel blocker use. The nurse should instruct the client to lie down until the dizziness passes. Applying a cold cloth over the forehead will not relieve the dizziness. The dosage should not be reduced or altered unless instructed by the health care provider. Increasing the fluid consumption will also not help in alleviating dizziness.
