To provide an extra margin of safety during continuous bronchodilator therapy (CBT), which of the following would you recommend be monitored?
1) Eosinophil count
2) Serum potassium levels
3) Electrocardiogram

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Continuous bronchodilator therapy, especially with beta-agonists, can lead to hypokalemia (low potassium levels) due to potassium shifting into cells, and can also affect the heart, making monitoring of serum potassium levels and electrocardiogram (ECG) important for detecting potential complications. Eosinophil count is not directly relevant to the safety concerns associated with continuous bronchodilator therapy.
