Explanation

B. Carteolol is a beta-blocker used in the management of glaucoma, but it is not a prostaglandin analogue.

A. rebound hypotension B. vomiting C. bradycardia D. tremors E. masking of hypoglycemia F. bronchoconstriction

Correct Answer is ["C","E","F"]

Explanation

A. Rebound hypotension is more commonly associated with abrupt withdrawal of beta-blockers rather than a direct side effect, so it is not typically included as a side effect to expect while on the medication.
B. Vomiting is not a common side effect associated with propranolol; the nurse would not educate the client on this.
C. Bradycardia is a known side effect of propranolol, as it is a beta-blocker that decreases heart rate, so clients should be educated about monitoring their heart rate.
D. Tremors can be related to withdrawal from beta-agonists rather than propranolol, which may alleviate tremors in some individuals; thus, it's not a common side effect of the medication.
E. Propranolol can mask the symptoms of hypoglycemia (e.g., tachycardia), making it important for clients with diabetes to be aware of this potential effect.
F. Bronchoconstriction can occur in clients with reactive airway diseases, as propranolol non-selectively blocks beta receptors, so clients should be educated about this risk, especially if they have asthma or other pulmonary conditions.
