Question 1 of 5
Client teaching regarding the use of leukotriene receptor antagonist (LTRAS) drug such as Montelukast (Singulair) would include which statement by the nurse?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Montelukast blocks leukotrienes, preventing airway inflammation and asthma attacks. It's for maintenance, not acute symptoms, and doesn't typically cause constipation or take weeks for effect.
Question 2 of 5
A contraindication for the use of Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in a patient is:
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acetaminophen is metabolized by the liver, and severe hepatic impairment can lead to toxic metabolite accumulation, causing hepatotoxicity. Other conditions are not contraindications.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has been taking prednisone to treat asthma and has a new prescription to discontinue the medication. The nurse should explain to the client to reduce the dose gradually to prevent which of the following adverse effects?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Long-term prednisone suppresses adrenal cortisol production. Abrupt cessation can cause adrenocortical insufficiency. Gradual tapering allows adrenal recovery. Other effects are not directly related.

Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Fluticasone, an inhaled corticosteroid, reduces airway inflammation, a key factor in asthma. It's for long-term control, not acute relief, bronchodilation, or cardiovascular effects.
Question 5 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who takes acetaminophen daily to manage mild knee pain. The nurse should instruct the client to monitor for which of the following adverse reactions to this medication?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Acetaminophen can cause liver toxicity, with jaundice as a key symptom. Tinnitus, hyperglycemia, and muscle pain are not typical adverse effects.
