A client with asthma receives a prescription for high blood pressure during a
clinic visit.
Which prescription should the nurse anticipate the client to receive
that is least likely to exacerbate asthma?
A. Carteolol (Ocupress).
B. Propranolol hydrochloride (Inderal).
C. Pindolol (Visken). Incorrect
D. Metoprolol tartrate (Lopressor). Correct
The best antihypertensive agent for clients with asthma is metoprolol
(Lopressor) (C), a beta2
blocking agent which is also cardioselective and less likely to cause
bronchoconstriction.
Pindolol (A) is a beta2 blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction and increase
asthmatic

symptoms. Although carteolol (B) is a beta blocking agent and an effective
antihypertensive
agent used in managing angina, it can increase a client's risk for
bronchoconstriction due to its
nonselective beta blocker action. Propranolol (D) also blocks the beta2
receptors in the lungs,
causing bronchoconstriction, and is not indicated in clients with asthma and
other obstructive
pulmonary disorders.
A male client who has been taking propranolol (Inderal) for 18 months
tells the nurse that the healthcare provider discontinued the medication
because his blood pressure has been normal for the past three months.
Which instruction should the nurse provide?
A. Obtain another antihypertensive prescription to avoid withdrawal
symptoms.

C. Report any uncomfortable symptoms after stopping the medication.
D. Ask the healthcare provider about tapering the drug dose over the next
week. Correct
Although the healthcare provider discontinued the propranolol, measures to
prevent rebound
cardiac excitation, such as progressively reducing the dose over one to two
weeks (C), should be
recommended to prevent rebound tachycardia, hypertension, and ventricular
dysrhythmias.
Abrupt cessation (A and B) of the beta-blocking agent may precipitate
tachycardia and rebound
hypertension, so gradual weaning should be recommended. (D) is not
indicated.
A 9-year-old is hospitalized for neutropenia and is placed in reverse isolation.
The child asks the nurse, "Why do you have to wear a gown and mask when
you are in my room?" How should the nurse respond?
A. “To protect you because you can get an infection very easily.”
