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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Asthma. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma due to its non-selective beta-blocking effects. This can worsen respiratory symptoms and potentially lead to an asthma exacerbation.
Therefore, it is contraindicated in clients with asthma. Glaucoma (
A), depression (
B), and migraines (
D) are not direct contraindications for propranolol use in hypertension.
