Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for benazepril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Make sure to change positions slowly. Benazepril is an ACE inhibitor that can cause orthostatic hypotension, leading to dizziness or fainting when changing positions quickly. Instructing the client to change positions slowly can help prevent this adverse effect.
Choice B is incorrect because grapefruit juice does not interact with benazepril.
Choice C is incorrect as a cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors, and discontinuing the medication without consulting a healthcare provider is not recommended.
Choice D is incorrect because using salt substitutes can lead to high potassium levels when taking benazepril.
