A nurse is developing a teaching plan about measures to reduce the risk of infection with Candida albicans from antiasthma therapy. The nurse includes this information because the client is prescribed which of the following? Select all that apply
A) Albuterol (Ventolin)
B) Cromolyn (Gastrocrom)
C) Fluticasone (Flovent)
D) Tiotropium (Spiriva)
E) Budesonide/formoterol (Symbicort)
Ans: B, C, E
Feedback:
Mast cell aerosols such as cromolyn and inhaled corticosteroids (ICSs) such as fluticasone and budesonide/formoterol have been associated with the development of oral thrush. Therefore, the client needs instructions on how to reduce his risk. Albuterol, a short-acting beta-2 agonist, and tiotropium, a cholinergic blocker, are not associated with the development of thrush.
