Ati n211 pharmacology proctored exam
A nurse caring for a client who has hypertension and asks the nurse about a prescription for propranolol. The nurse should inform the client that this medication is contraindicated in clients who have a history of which of the following conditions?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Propranolol is sometimes used to treat migraines as it can reduce the frequency and severity of attacks. It is not contraindicated for clients with a history of migraines. B. Propranolol is contraindicated in clients with asthma because it is a non-selective beta-blocker, which can cause bronchoconstriction and worsen respiratory conditions such as asthma. C. Propranolol is not contraindicated in clients with glaucoma, although caution may be required as beta-blockers can potentially increase intraocular pressure. D. Propranolol is not contraindicated in clients with depression, though it can have mood-related side effects. Depression is not an absolute contraindication, but it should be monitored closely.
