Simulated
A nurse is admitting a client who is having an exacerbation of his asthma. When reviewing the provider's orders, the nurse recognizes that clarification is needed for which of the following medications?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction and worsen asthma symptoms. The nurse should clarify with the provider why this medication is ordered and if there are any alternatives that are safer for the client. The other medications are appropriate for a client who has asthma.
