    This document provides information on the drug Albuterol, including its generic and brand names, classification, dosage, administration route, mechanism of action, indications for use, contraindications, side effects, and the nurse's responsibilities before, during, and after administration. Specifically, it notes that Albuterol is a bronchodilator usually administered via nebulization every 4 hours. It works by binding to beta receptors and relaxing airway smooth muscle to treat reversible airway obstruction. Side effects can include nervousness, restlessness, and chest pain. Nurses assess lung sounds and pulse before and observe for paradoxical bronchospasm during administration.
