A nurse is caring for a client who has asthma.

The client asks the nurse how albuterol helps his breathing.

Which of the following information should the nurse include in the response? (Select all that apply).

The medication will increase the amount of mucus.

The medication will prevent wheezing.

The medication will open the airways.

The medication will decrease coughing.

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : B,C,D

Albuterol is an inhaled medication that can quickly relieve the symptoms of asthma.
Classified as a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) and bronchodilator, albuterol relaxes the muscles in your airways that tighten during an asthma attack.

This causes the airways in the lung to increase in size, which allows air to move more freely through them1.
This can help prevent wheezing, open airways and decrease coughing.

Choice A: The medication will increase the amount of mucus is not a correct answer because albuterol does not increase the amount of mucus.
