What is the mechanism of action of lisinopril (full options)?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Inhibits narrowing of blood vessels and decreases the heart's workload
Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor (vasodilation, reduced cardiac workload).
- A. That is a diuretic mechanism, not an ACE inhibitor.
- B. That is a calcium-channel blocker.
- C. Correct. As an ACE inhibitor, lisinopril blocks angiotensin II formation → vasodilation → reduced afterload/workload.
