Question

fever
bruising

Explanation:

Albuterol is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist that can also stimulate beta-1 receptors at higher doses, leading to cardiac-related adverse effects. Fever, bruising, and polyuria are not associated with albuterol use. Palpitations (a sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeat) is a known adverse effect from the medication's impact on cardiac beta-1 receptors.

Answer:

Palpitations
