Ati pharmacology 2 assessment proctored exam
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
A. Bradycardia: Albuterol can cause an increase in heart rate (tachycardia) as a common side effect, not a decrease in heart rate, so bradycardia would not be expected. B. Wheezing: Albuterol is used to relieve wheezing by causing bronchodilation, so continued wheezing after administration would suggest ineffective treatment rather than being an expected finding. C. Tremors: Tremors are a common side effect of albuterol due to its stimulation of beta-2 receptors in the muscles. This is often seen after nebulizer treatments. D. Sleepiness: Albuterol generally causes stimulation of the central nervous system, leading to restlessness or nervousness, not sleepiness.
