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: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Asthma. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction, making it risky for clients with asthma due to potential worsening of respiratory function. Migraines (
A), glaucoma (
