Mr. Budi and Mr. Ari is grateful for the clear explanation and feels empowered and reassured. After providing the proper education to Mr. Budi and Mr. Ari, what should Nurse Tono give to the patient now?

His blood pressure is dangerously high. We must address that first. Please administer a one-time dose of oral captopril and recheck in an hour. We will hold off on starting any other medications until the BP is below 150 systolic.
Start Prednisone 60 mg daily. Besides, increase his home amlodipine to 10 mg twice daily for now and have him recheck his blood pressure at the polyclinic daily starting from tomorrow
His blood sugar is elevated. Let's give him a dose of sliding scale insulin and recheck his glucose in one hour before we consider starting steroids, as they can raise it further.
Start Prednisone 60 mg daily and initiate comprehensive eye care immediately. Also, increase his home amlodipine to 10 mg twice daily for now and have him recheck his blood pressure at the polyclinic daily starting from tomorrow.
