ATI RN Pharmacology 2019 III Questions

Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a child who is experiencing status asthmaticus. Which of the following interventions is the priority for the nurse to take?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer a short acting beta agonist (SAB
A). In status asthmaticus, the priority is to quickly relieve bronchoconstriction and improve airflow. Short-acting beta agonists like albuterol are bronchodilators that work rapidly to open the airways, providing immediate relief. This intervention helps to address the acute respiratory distress the child is experiencing. Administering inhaled glucocorticoids (choice
A) is important for long-term control but is not the priority in an acute exacerbation. Determining the cause of the exacerbation (choice
C) and obtaining a peak flow reading (choice
D) are important assessments but do not address the immediate need for bronchodilation in status asthmaticus.
