dysrhythmias,
hypokalemia,
hyperglycemia,
paradoxical bronchoconstriction,
increased risk for asthma-related death (LABAs)

22
Q

albuterol (SABAs) what to monitor and precautions

A

assess respiratory status before and after
advise patients not to use LABAs for rescue medication

23
Q

inhaled ipratropium (anticholinergics) therapeutic effects

A

Treatment of chronic asthma
Block the PNS and stimulates the SNS that results in
bronchodilation

and anxiety
Assess respiratory status before and after

26
Q

inhaled ipratropium (anticholinergics) safety precautions

A

When administered with other inhalation medication, adminster adrenergic bronchodilators first

dysrhythmias,
hypotension,
seizures,
circulatory failure,
respiratory arrest

28

A

leukotrienes

31
Q

Beclomethasone (Inhaled Corticosteroids) therapeutic effects

A

Prevention of asthma attacks
Decrease activation of inflammatory cells

designed to attach to a specific receptor on a target cell or molecule.
treating asthma and COPD

A

monoclonal antibodies

38
