NCLEX PN Practice Test Practice Question
A client with asthma was recently prescribed fluticasone/salmeterol. After the client has received instructions about this medication, which statement would require further teaching by the nurse?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Fluticasone/salmeterol is a maintenance medication for asthma, not a rescue inhaler for acute attacks. Statement B indicates a misunderstanding, requiring further teaching to clarify that a short-acting bronchodilator (e.g., albuterol) should be used for acute symptoms. Rinsing the mouth (A) prevents oral thrush from the steroid component. Quitting smoking (C) and receiving a vaccine (D) are positive health behaviors not requiring correction.
