Question 1 of 5
A nurse caring for a client who has hypertension and asks the nurse about a prescription for propranolol. The nurse should inform the client that this medication is contraindicated in clients who have a history of which of the following conditions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Asthma. Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction, making it contraindicated in clients with asthma due to the risk of exacerbating bronchospasms. Migraines, glaucoma, and depression are not absolute contraindications for propranolol use. Asthma is the only condition listed that directly conflicts with the mechanism of action of propranolol.
