The nurse should instruct the client that nedocromil may cause a bitter taste and may take up to a week of therapy before benefits are obtained. Option B is incorrect because nedocromil is not used to terminate an acute asthma attack. Option D is incorrect because nedocromil should be used regularly as a preventative medication, not just as needed. Option E is incorrect because headache is not a common side effect of nedocromil.
