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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tachycardia. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that slows down the heart rate. When the client stops taking it abruptly, there is a rebound effect leading to increased heart rate or tachycardia. Bradypnea (
A) is slow breathing, not typically associated with propranolol withdrawal. Hyperkalemia (
B) is high potassium levels, not directly related to propranolol use. Rhinitis (
D) is inflammation of the nasal passages, unrelated to propranolol.
