A patient who has recently begun taking captopril (Capoten) to treat hypertension calls a clinic to report a persistent cough. The nurse will perform which action?

Instruct the patient to go to an emergency department because this is a hypersensitivity reaction.

Schedule an appointment with the provider to discuss changing to an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).

Tell the patient to stop taking the drug immediately since this is a serious side effect of this drug.

Reassure the patient that this side effect is nothing to worry about and will diminish over time.
