A client with a history of anxiety and depression presents to the emergency department with a headache, nausea, and vomiting. The client's vital signs are temperature 100.9°F (38.3°C), heart rate 115 beats/minute, respirations 21 breaths/minute, and blood pressure 216/108 mm Hg. When reviewing the client's medications, which information is of most concern to the nurse?

A) Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic commonly used to treat hypertension and would not typically cause or exacerbate the symptoms described. B) Phenelzine is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressant. It can interact with tyramine-containing foods and precipitate a hypertensive crisis, especially if the client consumes foods rich in tyramine, which could explain the elevated blood pressure. C) Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker used to treat hypertension. While it may contribute to controlling blood pressure, it is less likely to cause acute elevations in blood pressure or precipitate a hypertensive crisis compared to an MAOI. D) Aspirin is a commonly used antiplatelet agent and analgesic. While it may contribute to minor increases in blood pressure, it is not typically associated with acute hypertensive crises.
