Question 1 of 5

The nurse admits a patient who has a diagnosis of an acute asthma attack. Which statement indicates that the patient may need teaching regarding medication use?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is 'I've been using my albuterol inhaler more frequently over the last 4 days.' This statement indicates that the patient may need teaching regarding medication use because an increased need for a rapid-acting bronchodilator suggests an exacerbation of asthma. The patient should be educated on recognizing worsening symptoms and the appropriate actions to take.

Choices A, B, and C do not directly relate to asthma exacerbation or the need for medication teaching, making them incorrect.
Choice A reflects a lack of recent acute asthma attacks, while choice B describes shortness of breath unrelated to medication use.
Choice C mentions Tylenol use for chest-wall pain, which is not indicative of asthma exacerbation or medication teaching needs.
