    A client with a history of asthma reports having episodes of bronchoconstriction and increased mucus production while exercising. Which action should the nurse implement?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Teaching the client to use pursed lip breathing is helpful for managing breathing difficulties, but it is not the first action to address exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.Choice B reason:The correct answer is b) because determining if the client is using an inhaler before exercising is crucial to prevent bronchoconstriction and manage asthma symptoms effectively.Choice C reason: Assessing for signs and symptoms of upper airway infection is important but is not directly related to exercise-induced bronchoconstriction.Choice D reason: Reviewing the client's routine asthma management prescriptions is important but should come after addressing the immediate concern of exercise-induced symptoms.
