Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client to contact the health care provider if palpitations, tachycardia, chest pain, muscle tremors, dizziness, headache, flushing, or difficulty with urination or breathing occurs. Fall in blood pressure, increased nighttime urination, and hearing impairment are not adverse effects associated with a sympathomimetic bronchodilator.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
When a client receiving aminophylline complains of heartburn, the nurse should instruct the client to remain upright with the head end of the bed raised. Eating small, frequent meals and limiting fluid intake with meals help alleviate the symptoms of nausea, and not of heartburn. Using strict oral hygiene helps prevent infection with Candida albicans seen with corticosteroid therapy.
