A client presents to the healthcare setting after beginning treatment with an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. Which of the following side- effects will the nurse be sure to assess for?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Hypokalemia can occur with some antihypertensives, but it is more associated with diuretics rather than ACE inhibitors. Vomiting is not a common side effect. B. A dry, non-productive cough is a well-known side effect of ACE inhibitors, which the nurse should specifically assess for during follow-up. C. Epistaxis (nosebleed) and headache are not common or specific side effects associated with ACE inhibitors. D. Nausea and vomiting can occur with various medications, but they are not specifically indicative of ACE inhibitor use.
