What adverse effects may be seen if albuterol is used too frequently?

  1. Decreased heart rate

  2. Reduced anxiety

  3. Nausea and increased heart rate

  4. Increased blood pressure

The correct answer is: Nausea and increased heart rate

Using albuterol too frequently can lead to nausea and increased heart rate. This is because albuterol is a bronchodilator that works by stimulating the beta-2 receptors in the lungs, which can also affect other beta receptors in the body. Nausea is a common side effect of beta-2 stimulation, while increased heart rate is caused by stimulation of beta-1 receptors in the heart. This is why choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not correctly describe the adverse effects commonly associated with overuse of albuterol.
