Question 3 of 5
A nurse is preparing to administer an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Which drug should the nurse administer?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, such as captopril, work by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone secretion, and ultimately decreases blood pressure. ACE inhibitors are commonly used in the management of hypertension, heart failure, and post-myocardial infarction. In this case, the nurse should administer captopril as it is an ACE inhibitor, while the other options (B. Furosemide, C. Spironolactone, D. Chlorothiazide) are not ACE inhibitors and have different mechanisms of action.
