Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has asthma and new prescriptions for Albuterol and Atrovent, both by nebulizer. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will be sure to take the albuterol before taking the Atrovent." This is the correct statement as albuterol is a short-acting bronchodilator that opens the airways quickly, and it should be taken first to help improve breathing. Atrovent is a long-acting bronchodilator that works over a longer period. Taking albuterol first allows for immediate relief, followed by sustained bronchodilation from Atrovent. Option A is incorrect as cromolyn is not mentioned in the scenario. Option C is incorrect as the medications should be taken as prescribed, not 10 minutes apart. Option D is incorrect as medications should be taken based on their specific instructions, not immediately after exercising.
