ATI Pharmacology Practice Exam Questions
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with hypertension who asks about a prescription for propranolol. The nurse should inform the client that this medication is contraindicated in clients with a history of which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Propranolol is contraindicated in clients with a history of asthma because it can cause bronchospasms due to its non-selective beta-blocking properties. By blocking beta-2 receptors in the lungs, propranolol can lead to bronchoconstriction, potentially triggering asthma symptoms and exacerbating respiratory issues. It is essential for individuals with asthma to avoid medications like propranolol that can worsen their condition.

Question 3 of 5
A client has a new prescription for nitroglycerin transdermal patches. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct instruction for a client using nitroglycerin transdermal patches is to remove the patch every night before bedtime. This is essential to prevent tolerance to the medication's effects. Continuous exposure to nitroglycerin can lead to the body becoming less responsive to its therapeutic effects over time, making it less effective in managing the condition it is prescribed for.
