Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reviewing the health history of a client who experiences migraine headaches and has asked about a prescription for sumatriptan. Which of the following conditions should the nurse identify as a contraindication for taking sumatriptan?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Coronary artery disease. Sumatriptan is contraindicated in clients with coronary artery disease due to its vasoconstrictive effects, which can lead to increased risk of cardiovascular events. Clients with coronary artery disease already have compromised blood flow to the heart, and using sumatriptan can further exacerbate this condition, potentially leading to serious complications like heart attack or stroke.

Choices A, B, and C are not contraindications for taking sumatriptan as they do not interact directly with the medication's mechanism of action. Asthma, kidney disease, and rheumatoid arthritis do not pose a significant risk when taking sumatriptan compared to the potential risks associated with coronary artery disease.
