Q1. A 54-year-old African American man has presented for a follow-up appointment shortly after being found to have hypertension and being placed on an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. The nurse takes the patient's vital signs at the beginning of the appointment and obtains a blood pressure of 177/96 mm Hg. Which factor would the nurse consider in light of the patients sustained high blood pressure?
The patients culture may not prioritize taking a medication on a regular basis
Biologic variations may be influencing the effectiveness of the medication

The patients diet may be negatively affecting the effectiveness of the medication
Show answer and explanation
