a.Increase the dose to relieve the cough
b.Tell the client the cough is unrelated
c.Stop all medications immediately without notification
d.Report the cough to the RN or provider

A persistent dry cough is a known side effect of ACE inhibitors and should be reported so the provider can consider an alternative. Increasing the dose worsens the effect, and abruptly stopping without guidance is unsafe. Reporting supports appropriate management.
