Cardiac Disorders NCLEX Questions Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is administering a calcium channel blocker to the client diagnosed with a myocardial infarction. Which assessment data would cause the nurse to question administering this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Hypotension (BP 90/58, D) contraindicates calcium channel blockers, which lower BP further. Pulse 64 (A), elevated calcium (B), and PVCs (C) are not contraindications.
