A client who has an acute asthma exacerbation.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse in a clinic sees a client who has an acute asthma exacerbation. Which of the following medications should reduce the symptoms?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Albuterol via jet nebulizer. Albuterol is a short-acting beta agonist bronchodilator that acts quickly to relieve bronchospasm, a common symptom in acute asthma exacerbations. When delivered via a nebulizer, it can provide rapid relief by dilating the airways and increasing airflow. Budesonide (
A) is a corticosteroid used for long-term asthma control, not for acute exacerbations. Cromolyn (
B) is a mast cell stabilizer that is more suitable for preventing asthma attacks rather than treating acute symptoms. Montelukast (
C) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that is also used for long-term asthma management, not for immediate symptom relief.
