B) Sputum appears clear. C) Sputum increases. D) Shortness of breath occurs.

A nurse is preparing to administer diphenhydramine to a client with bronchial irritation. Which activity should the nurse prioriti ze during the preadministration assessment? A) Document color and amount of any sputum present. TEST BANK INTRODUCTORY CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY 12TH EDITION By Susan M Ford B) Record the previous prescriptions. C) Take vital signs every 4 hours. D) Assess the client's cardiovascular status. Answer: A Rationale: Before drug administration, t he nurse should document the color and amount of any sputum present. The nurse need not record the previous prescriptions; however, the nurse should determine if any drugs the client uses would potentially interact with diphenhydramine. The nurse needs to take the client's vital signs, but not every 4 hours. The nurse needs to assess the respiratory status of the client before administering mucolytics and expectorants, but not before administering diphenhydramine HCl. Assessing the client's cardiovascular s tatus is not necessary.

Therefore, the most likely nursing diagnosis would be Ineffective Airway Clearance. There is n o evidence of pain. Injury Risk would be appropriate if the client was experiencing sedation or drowsiness from the prescribed medication. Impaired Oral Mucous Membranes would be appropriate if the client was experiencing dry mouth from the medication.
