Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ACE inhibitors can increase potassium levels in the blood, so it is important to avoid taking potassium supplements while on this medication. Fish oil and multiple vitamin supplements are not contraindicated with ACE inhibitors. Calcium supplements can be taken with caution, but it is not the top priority to teach the client to alter.
