Which statement indicates that the client understands teaching about the use of long-acting beta2 agonist medications?

Choice A reason: This statement is incorrect. Long-acting beta2 agonists (LABAs) are maintenance medications and must be taken daily to provide consistent bronchodilation and prevent asthma exacerbations. Choice B reason: LABAs are not rescue medications and should not be used during an acute asthma attack. Short-acting beta2 agonists (SABAs) like albuterol are used for immediate relief during attacks. Choice C reason: This is the correct understanding. LABAs are prescribed for daily use to maintain airway patency and reduce the frequency of asthma symptoms. They are often used in combination with inhaled corticosteroids. Choice D reason: Discontinuing LABAs is not typically advised unless the patient’s asthma is well-controlled and the healthcare provider recommends a change in therapy. Stopping the medication without guidance can lead to worsening symptoms.
