A nurse is caring for a client who takes lisinopril for hypertension. Which of the following client statements indicates an adverse effect of the medication?

Rationale: A. "I have a nagging, dry cough." A dry cough is a well-known adverse effect of lisinopril and other ACE inhibitors. This occurs in some clients due to the accumulation of bradykinin and can be bothersome enough to require discontinuation of the medication. B. "I have a heightened sense of taste." A heightened sense of taste is not a common side effect of lisinopril. It is not an indication of an adverse effect and may be unrelated to the medication. C. "I have to urinate frequently." Frequent urination is not a typical side effect of lisinopril. However, it could be related to other conditions such as a urinary tract infection or diabetes, and it is not commonly associated with ACE inhibitors. D. "I seem to be bruising more easily." Easy bruising is more commonly associated with medications like anticoagulants or antiplatelets, rather than lisinopril. While bruising is possible, it is not a primary concern with ACE inhibitors.
