Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has chronic hypertension. The client's morning vital signs include BP 140/80 mm Hg, heart rate 54/min, and respiratory rate 18/min. Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to withhold?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Atenolol. Atenolol is a beta-blocker that lowers heart rate and blood pressure. Given the client's low heart rate of 54/min, withholding atenolol is necessary to prevent further bradycardia. Hydrochlorothiazide (
A) is a diuretic that helps lower blood pressure, and it can be continued. Lisinopril (
B) is an ACE inhibitor used to manage hypertension, and it can be continued as well. Aspirin (
D) is often prescribed for cardiovascular protection and can also be continued in this scenario.
