Question 2 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a child who is in status asthmaticus. Which of the following medications should the nurse administer first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Albuterol rapidly relieves bronchospasm in status asthmaticus. Heliox, prednisone, and saline are secondary or not indicated as first-line treatments.

Correct Answer: D

Question 4 of 5
A nurse is planning to reinforce teaching about head injuries with a group of parents of school-age children. The nurse should instruct the parents to monitor for and report which of the following manifestations?
Correct Answer: B
