Question 1 of 5
A nurse working in an urgent care clinic is collecting data from a client who takes montelukast. Which of the following is an expected therapeutic effect of this medication?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Reduced bronchial inflammation. Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used to manage asthma and allergic rhinitis by reducing inflammation in the airways. This drug works by blocking the action of leukotrienes, which are inflammatory mediators that contribute to bronchial inflammation in conditions like asthma.
Therefore, the expected therapeutic effect of montelukast is a reduction in bronchial inflammation, leading to improved breathing and symptom control.
Incorrect choices:
A: Increased WBC count - Montelukast does not affect white blood cell count.
B: Improved peripheral vasodilation - Montelukast does not directly impact peripheral vasodilation.
C: Neutralized gastric acid - Montelukast does not have any effect on gastric acid levels.
