ATI RN Capstone Pharmacology Proctored Exam 2
A nurse is caring for a client who received two doses of albuterol via nebulizer.Which of the following findings should the nurse expect during an assessment?
Explanation & Rationale
Choice A rationaleAlbuterol, a beta-agonist, typically increases heart rate, so bradycardia is not expected. Normal heart rate: 60-100 beats/min.Choice B rationaleAlbuterol is a bronchodilator and should reduce wheezing, not cause it. Its action relaxes bronchial muscles, improving airflow.Choice C rationaleAlbuterol stimulates beta-2 receptors, causing tremors due to increased skeletal muscle activity. This is a common side effect.Choice D rationaleAlbuterol can cause nervousness and tremors rather than inducing sleepiness. It's more likely to stimulate than sedate.
