Final answer:
Clients with asthma and heart failure should use caution with beta-blockers, NSAIDs, and certain inhalers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Clients with asthma and heart failure should use caution when taking certain medications that may worsen their condition. One such class of medications is beta-blockers. While beta-blockers are commonly used to treat heart failure, they can worsen symptoms of asthma by causing bronchoconstriction.
Another medication to be used with caution in this population is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). NSAIDs can trigger asthma attacks and cause fluid retention, which may exacerbate heart failure symptoms.
Lastly, patients with asthma and heart failure should also be cautious when using certain inhalers. Some inhalers containing beta-agonists, such as salmeterol, may increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with heart failure.
