A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a parent of a child who has asthma about the administration of montelukast. Which of the following statements by the parent indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. "I will give this medication to my child once daily in the evening.": Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist taken once daily, usually in the evening, to prevent asthma symptoms. Administering it at the correct time supports consistent therapeutic levels and effective long-term asthma control. B. "I will give this medication to my child every 2 hours if he is wheezing": Montelukast is not a rescue medication and should not be administered for acute asthma attacks. Using it every 2 hours for wheezing is inappropriate and could delay effective emergency treatment. C. "It takes 2 months of scheduled use before this medication is effective.": Montelukast generally begins working within a few days to weeks, not two months. Delaying assessment of effectiveness for two months could lead to uncontrolled asthma symptoms. D. "I can stop giving my child this medication if he is taking a steroid.": Montelukast can be used alongside inhaled or oral steroids to manage asthma and should not be discontinued without consulting the healthcare provider. Stopping it abruptly may reduce asthma control.
