Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing a client with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and a chronic productive cough for discharged home. Which prescribed medication should the nurse review with the client to manage this symptom?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Guaifenesin (
D), an expectorant, thins mucus, easing cough in COPD. Salmeterol (
A) and tiotropium (
B), bronchodilators, improve airflow but don’t address mucus. Prednisone (
C) reduces inflammation in exacerbations, not chronic cough.
