What is Captopril Nursing Considerations about?
Captopril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat hypertension, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and diabetic neuropathy. It works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor angiotensin II. Common side effects include dizziness, cough, hypotension, and hyperkalemia. Nurses monitor blood pressure and symptoms of fluid overload. Captopril can cause false positive urine tests for acetone.
