4

Rationale 1:Hypokalemia is incorrect because ACE inhibitors cause hyperkalemia.

Rationale 3:Ventricular fibrillation is incorrect because this is not a side effect of enalapril.
Rationale 4: Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening side effect of ACE inhibitors.

Global Rationale: Angioedema is a potentially life-threatening side effect of ACE inhibitors. Hypokalemia is incorrect because ACE inhibitors cause hyperkalemia. Supraventricular tachycardia is incorrect because this is not a side effect of enalapril. Ventricular fibrillation is incorrect because this is not a side effect of enalapril.
