a nurse is teaching a client who is beginning fluticasone/salmeterol therapy. which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
\take the medication as needed for acute asthma.\
\follow a low - sodium diet.\
\use an alternate - day dosing schedule.\
\increase weight - bearing activities.\

Explanation:

Fluticasone/salmeterol is a long-term control medication for asthma, not a rescue inhaler for acute attacks. It does not require a low-sodium diet, and it is taken daily, not alternate days. However, inhaled corticosteroids like fluticasone can decrease bone density over time, so increasing weight-bearing activities helps maintain bone health.

Answer:

D. "Increase weight-bearing activities."
