Answer to Question 1

4
One side effect of ACE inhibitors that is expected with this medication is a persistent dry cough. Tachycardia, constipation, and bizarre dreams are not side effects associated with ACE inhibitors.

Answer to Question 2

2
Postoperative clients require supplemental oxygen because they may still be retaining anesthetic gasses in the lungs. The client will not be able to state that they need oxygen. Oxygen will not control blood pressure nor will it help with wound healing.
