Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is taking lisinopril. Which of the following outcomes indicates a therapeutic effect of the medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Decreased blood pressure. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used to treat hypertension by dilating blood vessels and reducing blood pressure. Monitoring blood pressure is crucial to assess the medication's effectiveness. HDL cholesterol levels (
A) are not directly affected by lisinopril. Lisinopril is not indicated for preventing bipolar manic episodes (
B) or improving sexual function (
C).
Therefore, a decrease in blood pressure is the most appropriate outcome to indicate the therapeutic effect of lisinopril.
