Correct Answer: 1,2,4
Rationale 1: The client should avoid any situation that might cause overheating, especially in hot weather, to reduce the risk of hypotension.
Rationale 2: Hot baths and hot showers should be avoided to decrease the chance of hypotension.
Rationale 3: Caffeine products are more likely to produce anxiety or palpitations.
Rationale 4: Changing positions slowly will help reduce orthostatic hypotension.
Rationale 5: Frequent naps will not affect the symptoms of hypotension.
Global Rationale: The client should avoid any situation that might cause overheating, especially in hot weather, to reduce the risk of hypotension. Hot baths and hot showers should be avoided to decrease the chance of hypotension. Changing positions slowly will help reduce orthostatic hypotension.
