A client who's taking blood pressure or antihypertensive medications is taught to notify the healthcare provider when there is a weight gain of 5 pounds in two days.
Antihypertensive medications are blood pressure medications which can bring the blood pressure down. They are different types which are given by the healthcare provider by taking factors like age, sex, race etc. into consideration.
These medicines act in different ways. For example, some remove extra fluids from the blood whereas others block natural hormones which raise the blood pressure. The side effect of these medicines is that they lead to weight gain and if the client gains 5 pounds in over two days, it has to be reported to the healthcare provider.
