Question 1 of 5
A client with COPD has an acute bronchospasm. The nurse knows the best medication for this emergency situation that is fast-acting is:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Epinephrine (Adrenalin). Epinephrine is a fast-acting bronchodilator that works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, providing immediate relief for bronchospasm in patients with COPD. It acts quickly to open up the airways and improve breathing. Dexamethasone (
A) is a corticosteroid used for inflammation and not for immediate bronchospasm relief. Zafirlukast (
B) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for asthma, not as fast-acting as epinephrine. Oxtriphylline theophylline (
C) is a bronchodilator but not as fast-acting as epinephrine and has a narrow therapeutic range. Epinephrine is the best choice for immediate relief in this emergency situation.
