Question

a client receives a new prescription for an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ace) inhibitor. which client history contraindicates its use?

a heart failure.

b renal artery stenosis.

c coronary artery disease.

d asthma.

Explanation:

ACE inhibitors are contraindicated in clients with renal artery stenosis. This is because ACE inhibitors can cause a significant decrease in glomerular filtration rate in such patients, leading to acute renal failure. Heart failure and coronary artery disease are conditions where ACE inhibitors are often used therapeutically. Asthma is not a contraindication for ACE inhibitor use.

Answer:

B Renal artery stenosis.
