Question 1 of 5
A client is being discharged with a cromolyn (Intal) inhaler to assist in the treatment of asthma. The nurse should include which information in the discharge teaching for this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Use this inhaler 15 minutes prior to physical activity. Cromolyn (Intal) is a mast cell stabilizer that helps prevent asthma symptoms triggered by exercise. By using it 15 minutes before physical activity, the medication can provide optimal protection.
Choice B is incorrect because tachycardia is not a common adverse effect of cromolyn.
Choice C is incorrect because cromolyn does not need to be tapered off and can be stopped abruptly.
Choice D is incorrect as cromolyn is administered via inhaler, not injections, and is used regularly to manage asthma, not just weekly.
