Solution

The medication that requires notification to the primary healthcare provider (PHCP) when a client is receiving newly prescribed salmeterol is labetalol (C).

Salmeterol is a long-acting beta2-adrenergic agonist (LABA) used for the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Labetalol is a non-selective beta blocker as well as an alpha-1 receptor blocker. This means it can block the effects of salmeterol, potentially making the salmeterol less effective.

Therefore, if a patient is prescribed both salmeterol and labetalol, the healthcare provider should be notified to ensure this combination is safe and effective for the patient. The other medications listed (lithium, captopril, and clonidine) do not have the same interaction with salmeterol.
