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?

A. “I seem to be bruising more easily,”: Easy bruising is not a typical adverse effect of lisinopril. Bruising may indicate a hematologic issue or another medication effect, but it is unrelated to ACE inhibitor therapy. B. "I have to urinate frequently.": Increased urination is not commonly associated with lisinopril. Diuretics, rather than ACE inhibitors, are more likely to cause polyuria. This statement does not indicate an adverse effect of lisinopril. C. "I have a nagging, dry cough.": A persistent, dry cough is a well-known adverse effect of ACE inhibitors like lisinopril. It occurs due to the accumulation of bradykinin in the respiratory tract, and it can be bothersome enough to require medication adjustment or substitution. D. "I have a heightened sense of taste.": Altered taste perception is not a common adverse effect of lisinopril. While some medications can affect taste, this is not characteristic of ACE inhibitors and is unlikely to be related to the client’s current therapy.
