A client with hypertension is prescribed a potent antihypertensive without results. The client is concerned when the health care provider orders a new drug. Which explanation by the nurse is the most appropriate?


1. “The drug you took is very potent and a higher dose is needed.”
2. “The new drug has greater efficacy, so it will help reduce your blood pressure.”
3. “The prescriber must have made an error in the orders.”
4. “Efficacy in treating your hypertension is more important than potency.”
5. “You are correct. I think the prescriber meant to order both drugs.”
