Question: 1 of 32Ati nur27500 phatopharm proctored exam
The nurse is providing discharge instructions for a client who has a new prescription for an Ipratropium bromide inhaler. Which of the following client statements indicates understanding of the common side effects of this medication?
Explanation
A. "I will rinse my mouth after each dose to prevent thrush." Ipratropium bromide is an anticholinergic bronchodilator, and it does not typically increase the risk of oral thrush. Rinsing the mouth after use is more commonly recommended with corticosteroid inhalers. B. "I will use this medication early in the morning so I am not urinating all night." Ipratropium bromide does not significantly affect urination or the frequency of urination, as it primarily targets the respiratory system. C. "I will make sure to use this in combination with a corticosteroid inhaler." Although it may be used in combination with corticosteroids, this is not specific to Ipratropium's side effects. This answer does not directly address side effect management. D. "I will suck on hard candies to cope with dry mouth." A common side effect of Ipratropium bromide is dry mouth due to its anticholinergic properties. Sucking on hard candies is an appropriate way to manage this side effect.
