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 and bronchoconstriction in the airways. This improves breathing and reduces symptoms. Option A is incorrect as montelukast does not affect peripheral vasodilation. Option B is incorrect as it does not neutralize gastric acid. Option C is incorrect as montelukast does not affect white blood cell count. In summary, montelukast's main therapeutic effect is reducing bronchial inflammation, making option D the correct choice.
