Question 1 of 5
A nurse instructs a 60-year-old client diagnosed with asthma about using a peak expiratory flow meter. Which immediate action should the nurse recommend to the client that obtains a reading of 82% on their peak flow meter?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct immediate action is to administer a rescue dose of albuterol. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist that helps open the airways quickly during an asthma exacerbation. A PEFR of 82% falls in the yellow zone, suggesting some obstruction but not an emergency situation.
