Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors such as captopril can cause hypotension,especially after the first dose.The nurse should see this client first to prevent falling if the client decides to get up without assistance.The two blood pressure readings are abnormal but not critical.The nurse should check on the client with higher blood pressure next to assess for problems related to the reading.The nurse can administer the beta blocker as standards state to hold it if the systolic blood pressure is below 90 mm Hg.The client who needs pain medication prior to the dressing change is not a priority over client safety and assisting the other client to the bathroom.
