A nurse is providing teaching about albuterol to a parent of a school-age child who has asthma. The nurse should instruct the parent to monitor for which of the following findings as adverse effects of albuterol? (Select all that apply.)

A. Positive leukocyte esterase is a laboratory finding typically identified during a urinalysis to screen for the presence of white blood cells. While this may indicate a urinary tract infection or renal calculi, it is not a diagnostic marker for an inflamed appendix. In appendicitis, the primary biochemical changes are systemic rather than localized to the urinary excretion system. The nurse would not expect this specific finding to confirm a diagnosis of appendiceal inflammation.

B. Increased pain upon the sudden release of deep abdominal palpation is known as rebound tenderness or Blumberg sign. This clinical phenomenon occurs when the parietal peritoneum is irritated due to the inflammatory process of the adjacent appendix. It is one of the most reliable physical examination findings for identifying peritoneal irritation associated with acute appendicitis. The nurse should expect this reaction during the provider's assessment of the right lower quadrant.

C. A white blood cell (WBC) count of 9,500 mm3 falls within the standard physiological reference range for a healthy adult. In a client with acute appendicitis, the nurse would instead expect to see significant leukocytosis, typically exceeding 10,000 to 18,000 mm3. This elevation in the leukocyte count reflects the body's systemic inflammatory response to the localized infection. A normal count like 9,500 mm3 would be atypical for a client with an actively inflamed appendix.

D. Pain from flexion of the left thigh while lying on the right side is not a characteristic sign of appendicitis. The psoas sign, which is associated with appendicitis, involves pain upon extension or flexion of the right thigh, as the appendix sits in the right iliac fossa. Flexing the left thigh does not cause the anatomical tension required to irritate an inflamed appendix. This finding would suggest a different pathology or involve an unaffected anatomical region.

A) Staying current on scheduled immunizations: Staying up-to-date with immunizations is important for overall child health but is not a direct risk factor for sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Immunizations can help prevent infections that could contribute to SIDS but are not directly related to the syndrome itself.

B) Maternal smoking during pregnancy: Maternal smoking during pregnancy is a well-documented risk factor for SIDS. Exposure to nicotine and other harmful substances from smoking can affect the baby's respiratory system and increase the likelihood of SIDS.

C) Newborn who is large for gestational age: Being large for gestational age is not a recognized risk factor for SIDS. SIDS risk factors are more closely associated with prenatal and postnatal conditions, rather than birth weight alone.

D) Meconium staining of amniotic fluid: Meconium staining of amniotic fluid is a condition that can indicate fetal distress during labor but is not a direct risk factor for SIDS. It is more related to potential complications during delivery rather than SIDS risk.
