Question 1 of 5

A 10-year-old child who is 5'4' (138 cm) tall with a history of asthma uses an inhaled bronchodilator only when needed. He takes no other medications routinely. His best peak expiratory flow rate is 270 L/minute. The child's current peak flow reading is 180 L/minute. The nurse interprets this reading as indicating which of the following?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A peak flow reading of 180 L/minute is 66.7% of the child's best (270 L/minute), placing it in the yellow zone (50-80% of personal best), indicating an asthma exacerbation. A short-acting inhaled beta-agonist is needed to relieve symptoms.
