Question 1 of 5
ACE inhibitors work on the RAAS to prevent the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Because this blocking occurs in the cells in the lung, which is usually the site of this conversion, the use of ACE inhibitors often results in
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: ACE inhibitors work by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II in the lungs. This can lead to an accumulation of bradykinin, causing irritation and inflammation in the airways, leading to a persistent dry cough. This is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors due to increased bradykinin levels.
Choices B, C, and D are not directly related to the mechanism of action of ACE inhibitors on the RAAS and are not commonly associated side effects of ACE inhibitors.
Therefore, the correct answer is A.
