Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a child who has asthma and a prescription for montelukast granules. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide the client's parent on administering the medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale:
Correct Answer: A. Administer the medication 2 hr before exercise.
Rationale: Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to prevent asthma symptoms. Administering it 2 hours before exercise helps prevent exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. This timing allows the medication to be most effective in reducing inflammation and bronchoconstriction triggered by physical activity.
Summary of other choices:
B: Giving the medication at the onset of wheezing is reactive rather than preventative.
C: Administering the granules with water is not necessary and may not enhance effectiveness.
D: Giving the medication in the morning daily may not be specific to addressing exercise-induced symptoms.
