Question 1 of 5
The nurse is reviewing the medication record of a patient with asthma and notes the patient is taking inhaled fluticasone (Flovent). The nurse know that inhaled fluticasone (Flovent) is helpful in the treatment of asthma in what way?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Reduces inflammation in the airway. Inhaled fluticasone (Flovent) is a corticosteroid medication that works by reducing inflammation in the airways, which is a key feature of asthma. It helps to decrease swelling and mucus production in the airways, making it easier for the patient to breathe. This action helps in controlling asthma symptoms and preventing asthma attacks.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because inhaled fluticasone does not provide immediate relief for acute asthma symptoms, bronchodilation, or affect blood pressure and heart rate. The primary mechanism of action of inhaled fluticasone is to reduce airway inflammation, making choice A the correct answer.
