Question 1 of 5

The nurse administers losartan 50 mg PO to a client. One hour after administration, the client calls the nurse and complains of tingling of the lips. Noting that the client's lips are edematous, the nurse recognizes that the client is experiencing which issue?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: The client is experiencing angioedema and notifies the healthcare provider. Angioedema is a serious side effect of angiotensin receptor blockers like losartan. This presents with swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat, which can lead to airway compromise. Prompt notification of the healthcare provider is crucial for immediate intervention.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not address the severity of angioedema.
Choice A is not appropriate as fluid restriction is not the priority.
Choice B is incorrect as angioedema is not an expected side effect.
Choice D is incorrect as reducing the dose will not address the angioedema.
