study-ing, USMLE is so rigid from my little experience. the books say to give first dose in your office and so we will say that. i suppose it is more cos you want to monitor the degree of blood pressure drop with the first dose. that is the safest answer and not to give it at night. what if pt gets up to go to the bathroom??

by the way, it happened to my mom. she slumped in the bathroom. luckily i was home. i had to take her quickly to the hospital!!!
