A nurse is administering the first dose of ramipril to a client who has hypertension. The client reports feeling dizzy and lightheaded. Which of the following should the nurse administer?

D. Dizziness and lightheadedness may be indicative of hypotension, which can occur as a side effect of ramipril, particularly with the first dose or with dose adjustments. Administering an IV fluid bolus can help increase intravascular volume, improve blood pressure, and alleviate symptoms of hypotension. A. Administering carbohydrates is not indicated for dizziness and lightheadedness associated with ramipril administration. Carbohydrates are typically used to treat hypoglycemia in clients with diabetes. Dizziness and lightheadedness in this scenario are unlikely to be caused by hypoglycemia. B. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine commonly used to treat allergic reactions, itching, and insomnia. It is not indicated for dizziness and lightheadedness associated with ramipril administration. Administering diphenhydramine may not address the underlying cause of the symptoms. C. Naloxone is a medication used to reverse opioid overdose by blocking the effects of opioids at receptor sites. It is not indicated for dizziness and lightheadedness associated with ramipril administration. Naloxone would not be appropriate in this situation.
