A nurse is caring for a client who has heart failure and monitor when administering lisinopril?

Bradycardia

Hypokalemia

Hypotension

Tinnitus

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is C

Choice A rationale:

Bradycardia (slow heart rate) is not a primary concern when administering lisinopril.

Choice B rationale:

Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) can be a concern with certain medications, but it is not directly related to lisinopril administration.

Choice C rationale:

Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used to treat heart failure. One of the potential side effects of ACE inhibitors is hypotension (low blood pressure), so the nurse should monitor the client's blood pressure closely during and after administration.

Choice D rationale:

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is not a common side effect of lisinopril.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

Nicotine transdermal system is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

Choice B rationale:

Beclomethasone is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

Choice C rationale:

Carbamazepine can induce the metabolism of estrogen and progestin, potentially reducing their effectiveness in birth control. Women taking these combinations should use alternative contraceptive methods.

Choice D rationale:

Diphenhydramine is not known to have a significant interaction with carbamazepine.

A. BUN 16 mg/dL B. Potassium 5.3 mEq/L C. Sodium 142 mEq/L D. Albumin 4 g/dL

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale:

A BUN level of 16 mg/dL is within a normal range.

Choice B rationale:

A potassium level of 5.3 mEq/L is higher than the normal range (typically 3.5-5.0 mEq/L). Triamterene is a potassium-sparing diuretic, and if the client's potassium level is already elevated, it should be withheld to prevent hyperkalemia.

Choice C rationale:

A sodium level of 142 mEq/L is within a normal range.

Choice D rationale:

An albumin level of 4 g/dL is within a normal range.
