Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has asthma and new prescriptions for beclomethasone and albuterol, both by inhaler. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator that provides quick relief for asthma symptoms, while beclomethasone is a corticosteroid inhaler that works to reduce inflammation over time. Taking albuterol before beclomethasone will help open up the airways first, allowing the beclomethasone to work more effectively.
Choice B is incorrect as using both medications immediately after exercising is not necessary unless experiencing symptoms.
Choice C is incorrect as beclomethasone is a maintenance medication, not a rescue inhaler for immediate relief.
Choice D is incorrect as administering the medications 10 minutes apart may not optimize their effects.
