Cardiovascular Pharmacology NCLEX RN Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client prescribed lisinopril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: B,C
Rationale: Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, may increase urination due to its blood pressure-lowering effects and requires limiting potassium-rich foods (e.g., avocados, apricots) to prevent hyperkalemia. Pulse monitoring, taste changes, and cholesterol reduction are not associated with lisinopril.
