A potentially life-threatening adverse response to angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors is angioedema. Which of the following statements is true about this adverse response?
 
  1. Swelling of the tongue or hoarseness are the most common symptoms.
  2. It appears to be related to the decrease in aldosterone production.
  3. Presence of a dry, hacky cough indicates a high risk for this adverse response.
  4. Because it takes time to build up a blood level, it occurs after being on the drug for about 1 week.

Question 2

Despite good blood pressure control, an NP might change a patient's drug from an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor to an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) because the ARB:
 
  1. Is stronger than the ACE inhibitor
  2. Does not produce a dry, hacky cough
  3. Has no effect on the renal system
  4. Reduces sodium and water retention
