Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse would most likely identify a nursing diagnosis of Anxiety related to the adverse reaction of albuterol. A nursing diagnosis of Risk of Impaired Mucous Membranes may be seen with the use of corticosteroids, which increase the risk of oral candidiasis. There is no increased risk of injury or ineffective tissue perfusion with the use of albuterol therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should consider 10 breaths/min an abnormal respiratory rate and notify the primary health care provider. Respiratory rates below 12 breaths/min or above 24 breaths/min are considered abnormal. A respiratory rate between 12 breaths/min and 24 breaths/min is considered normal.
