Question 1 of 5

The HCP prescribes a second antihypertensive medication for the client who has poorly controlled BP on one medication. If prescribed, which medication combination should the nurse question?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A: The nurse should question this medication combination. When two medications are used to treat hypertension, each should be from different drug classifications. Atenolol (Tenormin) and metoprolol (Lopressor) are both beta-adrenergic blockers and have the same general mechanism of action. B: Metolazone (Zaroxolyn) is a thiazide-like diuretic, and valsartan (Diovan) is an ARB. C: Captopril (Capoten) is an ACE inhibitor, and furosemide (Lasix) is a loop diuretic. D: Bumetanide (Bumex) is a loop diuretic, and diltiazem (Cardizem) is a calcium channel blocker.
