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.
