A nurse is interviewing a client who was newly admitted prior to administering medications.
The client tells the nurse, "I forgot to tell the doctor I take albuterol for asthma."

For which of the following medications should the nurse withhold the dose and notify the provider?

Propranolol.

Isosorbide mononitrate.

Pantoprazole.

Montelukast.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

The nurse should withhold the dose of propranolol and notify the provider.

Using propranolol together with albuterol may reduce the benefits of both medications, since they have opposing effects in the body.

In addition, propranolol can sometimes cause narrowing of the airways, which may worsen breathing problems or trigger severe asthmatic attacks.

Choice B is wrong because there is no known interaction between albuterol and isosorbide mononitrate.

Choice C is wrong because there is no known interaction between albuterol and pantoprazole.

Choice D is wrong because there is no known interaction between albuterol and montelukast.
