A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has asthma and a new prescription for inhaled beclomethasone. Which of the following instructions should the nurse provide?
Explanation & Rationale
A. Beclomethasone, an inhaled corticosteroid, does not need to be taken with meals, as it is not associated with gastrointestinal upset. B. Checking the pulse is recommended with beta-agonist bronchodilators (like albuterol), which can cause tachycardia — not necessary with beclomethasone. C. Rinsing the mouth after administration helps prevent oral candidiasis (thrush), a common side effect of inhaled corticosteroids like beclomethasone. D. Limiting caffeine intake may be advised with certain asthma medications like theophylline, but it is not relevant for beclomethasone.
