ANS: A
A drop in venous pressure reduces venous return to the heart, and as blood pools in the extremities, orthostatic hypotension can occur. Patients taking drugs that reduce venous constriction should be cautioned to ask for assistance when getting out of bed. Bradycardia, headache, and shortness of breath are not expected effects.
