Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who has asthma and new prescriptions for cromolyn and albuterol, both by nebulizer. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will be sure to take the albuterol before taking the cromolyn." This statement indicates an understanding of the teaching because albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps open up the airways quickly, while cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer that helps prevent asthma attacks. Administering albuterol before cromolyn allows the bronchodilator to work first to relieve symptoms, followed by cromolyn to prevent future attacks. This sequence optimizes the effectiveness of both medications.

Explanation for other choices:
A: Administering the medications 10 minutes apart may not be optimal as albuterol should be taken first for immediate relief.
B: Using both medications immediately after exercising may not be necessary unless the client experiences symptoms.
D: Using cromolyn immediately when feeling tightness is not recommended as it is a preventive medication, not a rescue medication.
