(C), a beta2 blocking agent which is also cardioselective and less likely to cause
bronchoconstriction.
-Pindolol (A) is a beta2 blocker that can cause bronchoconstriction and increase
asthmatic symptoms.
-Although carteolol (B) is a beta blocking agent and an effective antihypertensive
agent used in managing angina, it can increase a client's risk for
bronchoconstriction due to its nonselective beta blocker action.
-Propranolol (D) also blocks the beta2 receptors in the lungs, causing
bronchoconstriction, and is not indicated in clients with asthma and other
obstructive pulmonary disorders.

objective of at least 1000 mL during the designated period. (A) uses the term
"adequate," which is not quantified. (B) is not the objective, which establishes an
