A. Note the complaints as usual adverse effects.
B. Withhold the next dose of medication.
C. Administer an analgesic, as needed and as prescribed.
D. Help the client relax.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】A stiff neck and headache may be prodromal symptoms of hypertensive crisis. Rather than dismiss the symptoms, the nurse should continue to assess them and consult the physician. Administering an analgesic and helping the client relax would be appropriate measures for a tension headache.
