OptionsAppropriateInappropriate
Oxygen administration
Inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists
Inhaled Corticosteroids
Oral Decongestants
Oral Expectorants

Correct Answer: A,B,C

Rationale: []

Rationale:
Oxygen administration is essential to increase oxygen levels during an acute asthma exacerbation. Inhaled short-acting beta-2 agonists (e.g., albuterol) help to quickly open airways by relaxing smooth muscles. Inhaled corticosteroids (e.g., fluticasone) are used to reduce airway inflammation and prevent future exacerbations. Oral decongestants and expectorants are not indicated for asthma exacerbations as they do not target the underlying airway inflammation and bronchoconstriction.
