Question

question 13 1 pts which of the following medication classes should be avoided in patients with acute or chronic bronchitis because it will contribute to ventilation - perfusion mismatch in the patient? xanthines antihistimines steroids anticholinergics

Explanation:

Antihistamines can dry up secretions and thicken mucus, which can lead to ventilation - perfusion mismatch in patients with acute or chronic bronchitis. Xanthines can help with bronchial dilation, steroids reduce inflammation, and anticholinergics can relax bronchial smooth muscles, none of which typically cause this specific ventilation - perfusion issue like antihistamines.

Answer:

Antihistimines
