Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who reports taking propranolol for several years but has recently stopped for financial reasons. The nurse should assess the client for which of the following findings?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Tachycardia. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate. When a client abruptly stops taking propranolol, rebound tachycardia can occur due to the sudden withdrawal of the medication's effects on the heart. The nurse should assess the client for an increased heart rate as a potential withdrawal symptom.
Hyperkalemia (
A) is not typically associated with propranolol withdrawal. Rhinitis (
C) and bradypnea (
D) are not common withdrawal symptoms of propranolol.
