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?

A. Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that blocks both beta-1 and beta-2 receptors. Blocking beta-2 receptors in the lungs can cause bronchoconstriction, which can worsen asthma symptoms, making asthma a contraindication. B. Glaucoma is often treated with beta-blockers, so it is not a contraindication. C. Migraines can be prevented by propranolol, so it is actually used therapeutically in these clients. D. Although propranolol may contribute to mood changes, depression is not an absolute contraindication.
