A client prescribed albuterol (Proventil) via inhaler asks why the medication is not available as a pill. Which response should the nurse make to the client?
a) "Albuterol in inhaler form allows the medication to reach your lungs quickly, providing rapid relief of your symptoms."
b) "Pills take longer to start working compared to inhalers, so using an inhaler ensures faster relief of your breathing problems."
c) "Albuterol in pill form can cause more side effects compared to inhalers, so inhalers are preferred for better tolerance."
d) "Inhalers deliver a higher concentration of albuterol directly to your lungs, which is more effective in treating your breathing difficulties."
