A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for Lisinopril for hypertension. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following as a side effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Angioedema. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor commonly used to treat hypertension. Angioedema is a potential side effect of ACE inhibitors, characterized by swelling of the deeper layers of the skin, often around the eyes, lips, and throat. This can lead to difficulty breathing and is considered a serious adverse reaction. Monitoring for signs of angioedema is crucial to ensure prompt intervention if it occurs. Elevated blood pressure (choice
A) would not be an expected side effect of Lisinopril, as it is used to lower blood pressure. Intestinal ileus (choice
C) is not a common side effect of Lisinopril. Delirium (choice
D) is not typically associated with this medication.
