    Which adverse effect is associated ACE inhibitors?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Chronic cough: A persistent dry cough is a common side effect of ACE inhibitors caused by accumulation of bradykinin; it often resolves after discontinuation. B. Constipation: Not a typical ACE inhibitor adverse effect. C. Nervousness: Not a common adverse effect of ACE inhibitors. D. Hypokalemia: ACE inhibitors more commonly cause hyperkalemia (increased potassium) by reducing aldosterone secretion, not hypokalemia.
