Step-by-step explanation:
B) Dry cough
The adverse effect of lisinopril that the nurse should report to the provider is a dry cough. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor commonly used to treat hypertension. One of the most common side effects of ACE inhibitors is a persistent, dry cough. While it is not a life-threatening side effect, it can be bothersome for the client and may affect their quality of life. The provider may need to consider an alternative medication or adjust the dosage if the cough is severe or persistent.
Decreased serum potassium level (A) is not usually an adverse effect of lisinopril but rather a potential side effect of other medications like diuretics. Decreased serum creatinine level (C) would generally be considered a positive outcome, as it indicates improved kidney function. Increased blood pressure (D) and increased heart rate (E) would be concerning findings, as they suggest poor control of hypertension and may require adjustments to the medication regimen. However, these findings are not adverse effects of lisinopril itself.
