Question 1 of 5

Nurses Notes 0800- Client reports frequent cough, wheezing, and tightness of chest. Bilateral breath sounds with scattered inspiratory and expiratory wheezes 1000 Reinforced teaching about newly prescribed medications Exhibits Click to highlight the instructions the nurse should reinforce to the client.

A. Take your albuterol when you are having difficulty breathing. B. Hold your breath for 20 seconds when taking your albuterol. C. Take the salmeterol 5 minutes before the albuterol when you need both medications. D. Take the salmeterol 2 times each day. E. Rinse out your mouth after taking the fluticasone. F. Take the fluticasone as needed for an asthma attack.

Correct Answer: A,D,E

Rationale: The correct answers are A, D, and E. A instructs the client to take albuterol when experiencing difficulty breathing, addressing immediate symptom relief. D emphasizes the importance of taking salmeterol twice daily for maintenance therapy. E reminds the client to rinse their mouth after taking fluticasone to prevent oral thrush, a common side effect.

Choices B, C, and F are incorrect. B's instruction to hold breath for 20 seconds is unnecessary and not standard practice. C's guidance on timing salmeterol and albuterol is inaccurate and could lead to incorrect dosing. F's advice to take fluticasone as needed for asthma attacks is incorrect as it is a maintenance medication, not a rescue inhaler.
