Cardiovascular Pharmacology NCLEX RN Nursing Practice Question
The nurse is teaching a client who is receiving newly prescribed enalapril. Which of the following information should be a priority for the nurse to include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Enalapril, an ACE inhibitor, can cause angioedema, a potentially life-threatening swelling of the face, lips, or eyes, making this the priority teaching point. Dry cough, taste changes, and lab monitoring are relevant but less urgent.
