Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching about adverse effects with a client who is starting to take captopril. Which of the following findings should the nurse identify as an adverse effect of the medication to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Cough. Captopril is an ACE inhibitor known to cause a persistent dry cough as an adverse effect due to increased bradykinin levels. This can be bothersome and indicative of potential angioedema, which is a serious adverse reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Tinnitus (
A), polyuria (
C), and blurred vision (
D) are not common adverse effects associated with captopril use. Tinnitus is more commonly linked to aspirin toxicity, polyuria is typically seen with diuretics, and blurred vision is not a usual side effect of ACE inhibitors.
