Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client after receiving albuterol via nebulizer. The client reports feeling 'nervous and shaky'. Which of the following responses by the nurse is correct?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "This is a common side effect with albuterol and will stop soon." Albuterol, a bronchodilator, can cause nervousness and shakiness as common side effects due to its stimulant effects on the beta-2 receptors. This response by the nurse is correct because it reassures the client that these symptoms are expected and temporary. It also shows the nurse's understanding of the medication's side effects, providing education and support to the client.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the known side effects of albuterol.
Choice B implies an allergic reaction, which is not supported by the symptoms described.
Choice C speculates on a drug interaction without evidence.
Choice D is incorrect as it assumes the medication is ineffective without appropriate assessment.
