The full question is.

A 23-year-old woman is using an albuterol inhaler for frequent acute episodes of asthma and complains of symptoms that she ascribes to the albuterol. Which of the following is not a recognized action of albuterol? (A)Diuretic effect

(B)Positive inotropic effect

(C)Skeletal muscle tremor

(D)Smooth muscle relaxation

(E)Tachycardia

The right option is A. Diuretic effect

Step-by-step explanation:

Albuterol is a β2-selective receptor agonist, but in moderate to high doses it induces β1 cardiac effects as well as β2-mediated smooth and skeletal muscle effects. It does not cause diuresis. The answer is A.
