Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has asthma and a new prescription for fluticasone/salmeterol. For which of the following adverse effects should the nurse instruct the client to report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: White coating in the mouth. This adverse effect indicates a potential fungal infection called oral candidiasis, a common side effect of inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone. The nurse should instruct the client to report this to the provider for prompt treatment to prevent worsening of the infection. Increased appetite (
A) and sedation (
D) are not typically associated with fluticasone/salmeterol. Dry oral mucous membranes (
B) may occur due to the medication but are not a serious adverse effect requiring immediate reporting.
