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: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Albuterol via jet nebulizer. Albuterol is a short-acting beta agonist that works quickly to dilate the airways, providing immediate relief of asthma symptoms during an exacerbation. When administered via a nebulizer, it can reach the lungs directly, providing faster and more effective relief compared to inhalers. Budesonide (
A) is a corticosteroid used for long-term control of asthma, not for immediate symptom relief. Cromolyn (
B) is a mast cell stabilizer that helps prevent asthma attacks but is not effective during an acute exacerbation. Montelukast (
D) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for maintenance therapy and is not fast-acting like albuterol.
