Pharmacology and the Nursing Process by Linda Lane Lilley: Practice Exam

Which is not an indication of Tamsulosin (Flomax)?

1. Control of blood pressure

2. Symptomatic control of BPH

3. Managing depression

4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Control of blood pressure

The correct answer is A because there is no known effect of Tamsulosin on blood pressure. Tamsulosin is commonly used to treat symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) such as difficulty urinating and frequent urination. It is not recommended for managing depression. In this case, "None of the above" is incorrect as Tamsulosin is in fact used for managing BPH symptoms, but it is not an indication for controlling blood pressure.
