Answer 1

Propranolol is prescribed for CAD, and the nurse should consult with the HCP if the client has a history of peptic ulcer disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Propranolol is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. It is commonly prescribed for clients with coronary artery disease (CAD) to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and certain abnormal heart rhythms.
