Explanation
Choice A is correct. This statement requires follow-up. Bronchodilators should be administered before chest physiotherapy to enhance the mobilization of secretions, allowing them to be expelled.
Choice B is incorrect. Bronchodilators should be administered before strenuous exercise to prevent respiratory distress. Specifically, short-acting bronchodilators such as albuterol need to be administered.
Choice C is incorrect. Bronchodilators cause a discharge of catecholamines which may cause the client to have insomnia.
Choice D is incorrect. Increasing the amount of non-caffeinated fluids is recommended during respiratory illnesses to assist with thinning secretions.
