Question 1 of 5
A client has prescriptions for albuterol (Proventil HFA) and salmeterol (Serevent). Which instruction should the nurse provide for this client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: They should not be taken together. Albuterol is a short-acting beta agonist used for quick relief of asthma symptoms, while salmeterol is a long-acting beta agonist for maintenance therapy. Taking them together can lead to overuse of beta agonists, increasing the risk of side effects like tremors and tachycardia. It is important to wait at least 5 minutes between inhaling albuterol and salmeterol to avoid interactions.
Choice A is incorrect as albuterol is for immediate relief.
Choice B is incorrect as the order of administration does matter.
Choice C is incorrect as salmeterol is for long-term control.
