Question 1 of 5
A nurse is 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 non-selective beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction, leading to potential exacerbation of asthma symptoms. It is contraindicated in clients with asthma due to its potential to worsen respiratory function.
A: Migraines - Propranolol is actually used to prevent migraines, so this is incorrect.
B: Glaucoma - Propranolol can be used to treat glaucoma, so this is incorrect.
D: Depression - Propranolol can be used to manage anxiety associated with depression, so this is incorrect.
In summary, the correct answer is C because propranolol can exacerbate asthma symptoms by causing bronchoconstriction.
