Question 1 of 5
A client who suffers from hypertension and headaches is prescribed propranolol. The nurse would educate the client on which side effects associated with this medication?
Correct Answer: C,E,F
Rationale: The correct answers are C, E, and F. Propranolol, a beta-blocker, can cause bradycardia due to its effect on reducing heart rate. It can also mask hypoglycemia symptoms, leading to potential dangerous situations for diabetic clients. Additionally, propranolol can induce bronchoconstriction, especially in patients with underlying respiratory conditions such as asthma.
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as rebound hypotension is not a common side effect of propranolol, vomiting is a less common side effect, and tremors are usually associated with beta-agonist medications, not beta-blockers.
