Answer Choices:
Wheezing
💨 Wheezing — This is correct because metoprolol is a beta-blocker, and in clients with asthma, especially non-selective beta-blockers, it can cause bronchoconstriction leading to wheezing and respiratory distress. Asthmatic clients should be monitored closely when prescribed beta-blockers.
💨 Increased respiratory rate — This is incorrect because metoprolol typically causes bradycardia and does not directly increase the respiratory rate.
💨 Bronchodilation — This is incorrect because metoprolol does not promote bronchodilation. It may actually cause bronchospasm in susceptible individuals.
💨 Decreased sputum production — This is incorrect because metoprolol has no direct effect on sputum production.
