Question 1 of 5
Which of the following drugs was most likely included in the immediate medical treatment of the 63-year-old woman with symptoms of dyspnea?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Epinephrine. Epinephrine is a vasopressor and bronchodilator used in emergency situations like dyspnea to improve breathing and increase blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide and Amiloride are diuretics used to treat hypertension and edema, not acute dyspnea. Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic used to reduce intracranial pressure, not for dyspnea. Epinephrine is the most appropriate choice for immediate relief of dyspnea due to its bronchodilator effects and ability to improve breathing quickly.
