A client has a new prescription for albuterol (Proventil) to be given by inhalation through a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). Which of the following education should the nurse include?

Choice A rationale: Administering a small test dose is not typically required before giving an antibiotic unless there is a known history of severe allergies. It is more important to identify the causative organism to ensure the appropriate antibiotic is used.

Choice B rationale: Having epinephrine available is a safety measure for potential severe allergic reactions, but it is not the most immediate priority. Ensuring the antibiotic is appropriate for the infection is crucial.

Choice C rationale: Monitoring the client's temperature and blood pressure is important, but it is not the most immediate priority before administering the antibiotic. These parameters should be monitored throughout treatment.

Choice D rationale: Obtaining a urine specimen for culture and sensitivity is the most important action before administering the antibiotic. This ensures that the correct antibiotic is prescribed based on the specific bacteria causing the infection. It helps prevent the use of ineffective antibiotics and reduces the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Choice A rationale

Lisinopril is an antihypertensive medication and is not classified as a controlled substance.

Choice B rationale

Naloxone (Narcan) is an opioid antagonist used to reverse opioid overdoses and is not a controlled substance.

Choice C rationale

Tetracycline is an antibiotic and not classified as a controlled substance.

Choice D rationale

Morphine is an opioid analgesic used for pain management and is classified as a controlled substance due to its potential for abuse and dependence.
