ATI Pharmacology Exam 2

Extract:

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the health history for a client who has angina pectoris and a prescription for propranolol hydrochloride PO 40 mg twice daily. Which of the following findings in the history should the nurse report to the provider?

A. The client has a history of hypertension. B. The client has a history of hypothyroidism. C. The client has a history of bronchial asthma. D. The client has a history of migraine headaches.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client has a history of bronchial asthma. Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction in patients with asthma due to its effect on beta-2 receptors in the lungs. This can exacerbate asthma symptoms and potentially lead to a life-threatening asthma attack.
Therefore, the nurse should report this finding to the provider to consider an alternative medication.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because a history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, and migraine headaches are not contraindications for propranolol use in the context of angina pectoris. Propranolol is commonly used to manage hypertension, thyroid disorders, and migraines.
