Question 1 of 5

A client presents to the healthcare setting and ordered verapamil to treat his hypertension. Which assessment finding by the nurse would determine if the medication should be held?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: History of a myocardial infarction a week ago. Verapamil is a calcium channel blocker that can potentially worsen heart conditions, especially in individuals with recent myocardial infarction. Holding the medication in this case is crucial to prevent further cardiac complications. Pulse oximetry of 92% (choice
A) is concerning but is not a direct contraindication for verapamil. Pulse of 78 (choice
B) and respiratory rate of 12 (choice
C) are within normal ranges and not specific indicators for holding verapamil.
Therefore, the history of recent myocardial infarction is the most critical assessment finding that should prompt the nurse to hold the medication.
