Question 5 of 5
The home health nurse is evaluating a male client who manages his asthma and measures his peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR). Today he is experiencing an acute exacerbation and tells the nurse his PEFR is 60% of his personal best readings. Which PRN med should the nurse instruct the client to use?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For an acute asthma exacerbation with a PEFR at 60% of personal best, the nurse should instruct the client to use albuterol 2.5 to 5 mg via nebulization. Albuterol, a short-acting beta-agonist, rapidly relieves bronchospasm, improving airflow during an exacerbation. Oxygen may supplement but doesn't treat the underlying constriction, salmeterol is a long-acting medication for maintenance, and epinephrine is for anaphylaxis, not routine asthma flares. Albuterol's quick onset makes it the best PRN choice here.
