1) The nurse is caring for a client who has taken atenolol for 2 years. The
healthcare provider recently changed the medication to enalapril to manage
the client’s blood pressure. Which instruction should the nurse provide the
client regarding the new medication?
A. Take the medication at bedtime.
B. Report presence of increased bruising.
C. Check pulse before taking medication.
D. Rise slowly when getting out of bed or chair.
Answer: D. Rise slowly when getting out of bed or chair.
,Expert-Verified Explanation:
• Enalapril (ACE inhibitor) can cause vasodilation and orthostatic
hypotension. Teaching the client to stand up slowly helps prevent dizziness
or falls.
• “Take at bedtime” (A) is sometimes used for nocturnal BP control, but the
priority is orthostatic safety.
• “Report bruising” (B) is more relevant to anticoagulants.
• “Check pulse” (C) is more important with beta-blockers.

2) A female client calls the clinic and inquires about a possible reaction
after taking amoxicillin for 5 days. She reports having vaginal discomfort,
itching, and white discharge. The nurse should discuss which action with
the client?
A. Discontinue the antibiotic because original symptoms have subsided.
B. Continue taking the medication until finished until the symptoms
subside.
C. Consult with a healthcare provider about another treatment for this
effect.
D. Use an over-the-counter (OTC) vaginal wash to flush out the secretions.
Answer: C. Consult with a healthcare provider about another treatment
for this effect.
Expert-Verified Explanation:
, • Amoxicillin can disrupt normal flora, sometimes causing a yeast infection.
The antibiotic course must be completed, but an antifungal may be needed.
• Discontinuing (A) risks incomplete treatment.
• Merely continuing without addressing the infection (B) misses the yeast
infection concern.
• OTC washes (D) do not fully treat fungal infection.
