Which class of antihypertensive agents should be avoided by patients with asthma?

A. Patients are often advised to avoid straining during bowel movements and bending at the waist to reduce intraocular pressure and the risk of complications after cataract surgery. This is crucial for promoting healing and preventing dislodgement of the lens.
B. While good lighting can be important for safety and visibility, patients are often advised to avoid excessively bright lights or glare, especially after surgery, as it can be uncomfortable and may not be beneficial during the recovery period. Patients may need to use softer lighting to avoid discomfort.
C. After cataract surgery, patients are typically advised to lie on their back or the non-operative side to avoid pressure on the eye that underwent surgery. Lying on the abdomen is not recommended and could pose a risk to the surgical site.
D. Patients are often instructed to avoid heavy lifting for a period after surgery to prevent increased intraocular pressure and potential complications. Lifting more than 15 lbs is generally discouraged during the initial recovery phase.

A. Rhinitis, or nasal inflammation, can occur in various respiratory infections but is not a primary symptom of bacterial pneumonia. While some children with pneumonia may have nasal congestion or a runny nose, it is not a defining characteristic of pneumonia.
B. Hemoptysis, or coughing up blood, is not a common symptom of bacterial pneumonia, especially in children. While it can occur in severe cases or specific types of pneumonia, it is not typically expected during the initial assessment of bacterial pneumonia in pediatric patients.
C. A high fever is a common and expected symptom in children with bacterial pneumonia. The body’s response to the infection often includes elevated temperatures, and fever is one of the key signs that healthcare providers look for when diagnosing pneumonia.
D. Constipation is not a symptom associated with bacterial pneumonia. While general illness can affect bowel habits, constipation is not typically seen in patients with pneumonia. The focus of the assessment would be on respiratory symptoms rather than gastrointestinal issues.
