    A nurse is preparing a child who has cystic fibrosis for chest physiotherapy. Which of the following times is appropriate for the nurse to administer bronchodilator therapy in relation to chest physiotherapy?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Administering bronchodilator therapy immediately before chest physiotherapy helps open the airways, making the therapy more effective. B. Administering the bronchodilator 2 hours before is too early to have the desired effect during physiotherapy. C. Administering the bronchodilator 2 hours after does not support the immediate effectiveness of chest physiotherapy. D. Administering the bronchodilator immediately after chest physiotherapy does not provide the benefit needed during the procedure.
