Question 1 of 5
A client presents to the healthcare setting after beginning treatment with an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Which of the following side-effects will the nurse be sure to assess for?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Dry, non-productive cough. ACE inhibitors can cause a side effect known as ACE inhibitor-induced cough due to increased bradykinin levels. The nurse should assess for this because it can be bothersome and may lead to non-adherence.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. Nausea and vomiting are not typically associated with ACE inhibitors. Hypokalemia is a potential side effect of ACE inhibitors, but it is usually asymptomatic and vomiting is not a common symptom. Epistaxis and headache are not commonly associated with ACE inhibitors.
