Answer Choices:
Respiratory rate and pulse
🌬️ Respiratory rate and pulse — This is correct because albuterol, a beta2-agonist, can cause tachycardia and affects breathing patterns. Monitoring both vital signs helps evaluate for effectiveness and side effects.
🌬️ Pulse oximetry — This is correct as it measures oxygen saturation, which should improve if albuterol is effective in opening airways.
🌬️ Lung sounds — This is correct because improved airflow should reduce wheezing, so auscultating lung sounds helps assess medication effectiveness.
🌬️ Capillary refill — This is incorrect because although it is a general circulatory assessment, it’s not specific to evaluating albuterol’s respiratory effects.
🌬️ Glucose — This is incorrect because albuterol is not known to significantly alter glucose levels in acute use in a non-diabetic adult patient.
