Your patient drunk 150 mL of Ice Tea. How many ounces is this?

A. "I will administer the medications 10 minutes apart."Timing is important, but this option does not specify which medication should be taken first. The correct sequence is albuterol first, followed by cromolyn.

B. "I will use both medications immediately after exercising." Cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer used for prevention, not acute symptoms. It should be taken 15-30 minutes before exercise to prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm, not after.

C. "I will be sure to take the albuterol before taking the cromolyn." Albuterol (a bronchodilator) should be taken first to open the airways, allowing better absorption of cromolyn (an anti-inflammatory medication).

D. "If my breathing begins to feel tight, I will use the cromolyn immediately." Cromolyn is not a rescue medication. Albuterol should be used for acute bronchospasm, while cromolyn is for long-term asthma control.

A. Making a clinical decision in the patient's best interest: Making decisions in the patient’s best interest is an essential part of nursing practice and demonstrates good clinical judgment.

B. Making a clinical decision based on previous shift assessments. Nursing assessments should be conducted for each shift, as a patient’s condition can change rapidly. Relying on previous assessments without reassessing can lead to missed changes in the patient’s status, potentially causing harm.

C. Making an ethical clinical decision. Ethical decision-making is an integral part of nursing practice and aligns with professional standards. There is no need for intervention if the decision is ethical.

D. Making an informed clinical decision. Informed clinical decision-making is based on current patient data, clinical guidelines, and critical thinking. This is a correct approach to nursing care and does not require intervention.
