The primary care NP is considering prescribing captopril (Capoten) for a patient. The NP learns that the patient has decreased renal function and has renal artery stenosis in the right kidney. The NP should:
 
  a. initiate ACE inhibitor therapy at a low dose.
  b. consider a different drug class to treat this patient's symptoms.
  c. give the captopril with a thiazide diuretic to improve renal function.
  d. order lisinopril (Zestril) instead of captopril to avoid increased nephropathy.
