Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has asthma and a new prescription for inhaled fluticasone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Rinse the mouth after administration. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid inhaler that can cause oral thrush as a side effect. Rinsing the mouth after each use helps reduce the risk of developing oral thrush.
Incorrect choices:
A: Limit caffeine intake - Caffeine intake is not directly related to the use of inhaled fluticasone.
B: Take the medication with meals - Fluticasone should be taken as prescribed by the healthcare provider, regardless of meals.
D: Check the pulse after medication administration - Checking the pulse is not necessary for inhaled fluticasone administration.
In summary, choice C is correct because it directly addresses a potential side effect of the medication, while the other choices are not relevant to the safe and effective use of inhaled fluticasone.
