Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Ibuprofen and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the antihypertensive effects of ACE inhibitors.
Diuretics enhance the hypotensive effects of lisinopril, therefore the nurse should not be concerned if the patient is concurrently taking either spironolactone or furosemide.
Verapamil is not contraindicated in patients taking lisinopril.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A cough occurs in 5 to 10 of patients taking ACE inhibitors, and it does not subside until the medication is discontinued; this statement indicates a need for further teaching.
An unusual taste in the mouth may occur in patients taking enalapril; no further teaching is needed.
The patient should monitor the blood pressure; no further teaching is needed.
The patient should limit use of ibuprofen, because it may reduce the antihypertensive effects of ACE inhibitors; no further teaching is indicated.
