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 drug that can increase blood pressure by stimulating alpha-adrenergic receptors, leading to vasoconstriction. In clients with hypertension, this can exacerbate their condition and potentially lead to adverse cardiovascular events.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because pseudoephedrine is not contraindicated for diverticulitis, migraines, or eczema. It is important to consider the client's medical history and potential drug interactions when prescribing pseudoephedrine.
