The nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client prescribed lisinopril. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include? Select all that apply.
Correct answer
B,C
Rationale
Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, may increase urination due to its blood pressure-lowering effects and requires limiting potassium-rich foods (e.g., avocados, apricots) to prevent hyperkalemia. Pulse monitoring, taste changes, and cholesterol reduction are not associated with lisinopril.
