PATIENT HISTORY
Patient Introduction
Sabina Vasquez is a 5-year-old Hispanic girl admitted today from the emergency room with a
diagnosis of pneumonia. She has a history of asthma and has had several episodes requiring use of
an albuterol inhaler at home.
Sabina has had an upper airway infection for the past few days. Earlier today she developed a
fever of 39°C (102.2°F), so her mother brought her to the emergency room. She was placed on
oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 L/min. She received a 380-mL bolus of normal saline and an
albuterol nebulizer treatment at 5:00 PM. This improved her oxygen saturation to 94%. The chest
x-ray revealed right lower lobe pneumonia with effusion. An intravenous infusion of D5 ½NS is
infusing at 61 mL/hr. Sabina just got settled in bed, and her mother is at the bedside.

Assess lung sounds, pulse, and BP before administration and during peak of medication. Note
amount, color, and character of sputum produced.

and notify health care professional immediately.
Patient Education:
, Instruct patient to take albuterol as directed. If on a scheduled dosing regimen, take missed dose
as soon as remembered, spacing remaining doses at regular intervals. Do not double doses or
increase the dose or frequency of doses. Caution patient not to exceed recommended dose; may
cause adverse effects, paradoxical bronchospasm (more likely with first dose from new canister),
or loss of effectiveness of medication.
● Instruct patient to contact health care professional immediately if shortness of breath is not
relieved by medication or is accompanied by diaphoresis, dizziness, palpitations, or chest pain.
● Instruct patient to prime unit with 4 sprays before using and to discard canister after 200
sprays. Actuators should not be changed among products.
Instruct patient to notify health care professional of all Rx or OTC
medications, vitamins, or herbal products being taken and to consult health
care professional before taking any OTC medications
Inform patient that albuterol may cause an unusual or bad taste.
● Inhaln: Instruct patient in the proper use of the metered- dose inhaler or nebulizer
● Advise patients to use albuterol first if using other inhalation medications and allow 5 min to
elapse before administering other inhalant medications unless otherwise directed.
● Advise patient to rinse mouth with water after each inhalation dose to minimize dry mouth and
clean the mouthpiece with water at least once a week.
