11. Question 1
Aminophylline (theophylline) is prescribed for a client with acute bronchitis. A nurse administers the
medication, knowing that the primary action of this medication is to:
A. Promote expectoration.
B. Suppress the cough.
C. Relax smooth muscles of the bronchial airway.
D. Prevent infection.
Incorrect
Correct Answer: C. Relax smooth muscles of the bronchial airway.
Aminophylline is a bronchodilator that directly relaxes the smooth muscles of the bronchial
airway. Theophylline causes non-selective inhibition of type III and type IV isoenzymes of
phosphodiesterase, which leads to increased tissue cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)
and cyclic 3?,5? guanosine monophosphate concentrations, resulting in smooth muscle
relaxation in lungs and pulmonary vessels, diuresis, CNS and cardiac stimulation.
