Correct Answer is A

Explanation

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.

A. Dilute the medication with milk. B. Give the medication with a caffeinated beverage. C. Administer the medication through a straw. D. Provide an antacid with the medication.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Administer the medication through a straw.

This is because ferrous sulfate elixir can stain the teeth, so using a straw can help prevent this from happening.
Choice A is wrong because milk can interfere with the absorption of iron.

Choice B is wrong because caffeine can also interfere with iron absorption.
Choice D is wrong because antacids can reduce the absorption of iron and should be avoided within 2 hours of taking ferrous sulfate.
