Question 1 of 5
A nurse is talking with a client who has a new prescription for an ipratropium inhaler to treat exercise-induced bronchospasm. Which of the following client statements should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I am allergic to atropine." This statement should be reported to the provider because ipratropium is in the same class of medication as atropine, and there is a high likelihood of cross-reactivity in individuals allergic to atropine. This allergic reaction can result in serious adverse effects for the client. Reporting this information to the provider allows for a review of the client's allergy history and the consideration of alternative treatment options to ensure the client's safety.
Choice A is incorrect because ipratropium inhaler is not known to worsen high blood pressure.
Choice B is incorrect because it is important for the client to continue using albuterol as needed for quick relief of bronchospasm.
Choice D is incorrect as drinking red wine with dinner does not directly impact the use of ipratropium inhaler for exercise-induced bronchospasm.
