A 25-Year-Old Patient Has Had Moderate Asthma for 10 Years

A 25-year-old patient has had moderate asthma for 10 years.She uses an salbutamol (Apo-Salvent) inhaler when she develops chest tightness and wheezing but does not use her salmeterol (Serevent) as prescribed.To increase the patient's management and control of her asthma,what should the nurse teach the patient?

A) She should use the salmeterol when the albuterol does not relieve her symptoms.
B) Using the salmeterol helps prevent the early-phase response of bronchospasm and thus further inflammatory changes.
C) Salmeterol should be used when she uses the-agonist inhaler to decrease the late-phase inflammatory reaction of asthma.
D) Asthma attacks can be prevented if she uses both the albuterol and the salmeterol as prescribed and not just when symptoms develop.
