Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reviewing the medical record of a client who reports taking pseudoephedrine for sinus congestion as needed. The nurse should identify that pseudoephedrine is contraindicated for which of the following client conditions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Hypertension. Pseudoephedrine is a sympathomimetic medication that can increase blood pressure and heart rate. In clients with hypertension, this can exacerbate the condition and lead to adverse cardiovascular events. The other conditions listed (eczema, diverticulitis, migraines) are not contraindications for pseudoephedrine use. Pseudoephedrine may actually be used in treating migraines as it helps to constrict blood vessels and alleviate symptoms.
