    Explanation & Rationale

First dose phenomenon refers to significant hypotension that can occur after the first dose of an ACE inhibitor and should be monitored. C. Hepatotoxicity is not a common side effect of ACE inhibitors. D. A dry non-productive cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors, including quinapril. E. Orthostatic hypotension can occur with ACE inhibitors, especially after the initial dose, making patient education important.
