    A nurse is assessing a client who is receiving nebulized albuterol. The nurse should identify which of the following as an adverse effect of albuterol?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Albuterol, a beta2-adrenergic agonist, can cause tachycardia as an adverse effect due to systemic absorption and stimulation of beta1 receptors at higher doses. B. BP of 108/60 mm Hg is within normal limits and not indicative of an adverse effect. C. A mild fever is not commonly associated with albuterol use and may reflect an underlying condition, not the medication. D. A respiratory rate of 14/min is normal and does not indicate an adverse response.
