A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who has a new prescription for albuterol. Which of the following findings should the nurse monitor as an adverse effect?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Tremors: Albuterol, a beta-agonist, can cause tremors as a side effect due to its stimulatory effects on the nervous system. Generated rationale: Tremors result from albuterol's activation of beta-2 receptors, which can cause muscle overstimulation, requiring monitoring to assess severity.
