Question

The client states, "I've been feeling really dizzy when I stand up. I ran out of that blood pressure pill lisinopril 4 days ago, so I have been taking two of those water pills to make up for it. I did my rehab walking outside yesterday, but it was so hot and humid, and I ended up dripping with sweat. My mouth is dry, and my legs feel a little weak. I have a mild headache and my allergies have caused a stuffy nose. I had to start taking an over-the-counter decongestant. I did have some blood drawn yesterday." Vital signs were taken supine, sitting, and standing. The pulse is slightly irregular. The cardiac monitor shows normal sinus rhythm with occasional premature ventricular contractions. Lung sounds are clear. Which finding(s) from the nurse's notes are the most concerning?

premature ventricular contractions dizziness stuffy nose mild headache normal sinus rhythm dry mouth muscle weakness.
