Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who has asthma and a prescription for albuterol. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Tachycardia. Albuterol is a bronchodilator commonly used to treat asthma. It works by relaxing the muscles in the airways, which can lead to an increase in heart rate (tachycardia) as a side effect. Monitoring for tachycardia is important as it can indicate overstimulation of the heart. Constipation (
A) is not a common side effect of albuterol. Fever (
B) is not typically associated with albuterol use. Drowsiness (
D) is more commonly seen with other medications such as antihistamines.
