Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with hypertension. The client's current vital signs include a blood pressure of 155/95 mmHg and heart rate of 130 bpm in sinus rhythm. Which of the following medications should the nurse anticipate giving to the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Metoprolol. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate, making it an appropriate choice for a client with hypertension and a heart rate of 130 bpm. Beta-blockers reduce the workload on the heart and help control blood pressure. Enoxaparin and Heparin are anticoagulants used for preventing blood clots, not for hypertension. Simvastatin is a statin used for lowering cholesterol levels, not for hypertension.
