Question 1 of 5
The nurse is preparing to administer albuterol to a client experiencing an acute asthma attack. Which medication on the client's medical record is a direct contraindication to albuterol administration?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Beta-Blockers. Albuterol is a beta-agonist that works by stimulating beta-2 receptors in the lungs to dilate airways. Beta-blockers, on the other hand, block these same receptors, potentially leading to bronchoconstriction and worsening of asthma symptoms. Anticholinergics, antihistamines, and glucocorticoids do not directly interact with beta receptors, so they are not considered direct contraindications to albuterol administration in acute asthma attacks.
