Answer:  Airways become swollen and inflamed. The muscles around the airways contract and the airways produce extra mucus, causing the breathing (bronchial) tubes to narrow. During an attack, you may cough, wheeze and have trouble breathing.

Explanation:

Bronchodilators relieve asthma symptoms by relaxing the muscle bands that tighten around the airways. This action rapidly opens the airways, letting more air come in and out of the lungs. As a result, breathing improves. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out more easily. Corticosteroids may regulate beta(2)-receptor function by increasing expression of the receptor, restoring G-protein/beta(2)-receptor coupling, and inhibiting beta(2)-receptor downregulation.

Alex787 [66]

The most effective way for the nurse to proceed if the hospitalized client is hearing voices due to psychosis and is easily distracted, thus creating barrier in assessment completion, will be to complete the assessment in several short interactions.

<h3>How should a nurse deal with auditory hallucinations?</h3>

The clients who exhibit impaired cognition and psychotic thought processes tend to have insufficient attention span and thus may sometimes be unable to comprehend the questions being asked to them. The nurse may need several sessions with such clients to complete the assessment.

The most important aspect of such assessment is keeping the client under observation, but it also includes interaction with the client and engaging them in verbal communications. Only following this can ensure complete assessment. Psychiatric medications take some time to show their effect and the assessment shall be completed in a timely manner. In addition to this, the nurse can prepare themselves by planning for future acute psychiatric presentations by understanding how a client presents when in a psychotic state. It is within the scope of each nurse to complete the assessment. In the present scenario, the nurse has not been ineffective. The condition of the client is not favorable for conducting the complete assessment at once.
