Extract:


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 62-agonist (SAB
A). In status asthmaticus, the priority is to provide immediate bronchodilation to relieve airway constriction and improve oxygenation. SABA, such as albuterol, is the first-line treatment for acute exacerbations of asthma as it acts quickly to dilate the airways. Determining the cause of exacerbation (
A) is important but not the priority in the acute situation. Administering an inhaled glucocorticoid (
C) is a maintenance therapy and not for immediate relief. Obtaining a peak flow reading (
D) is useful for monitoring asthma control but not necessary in the acute phase.
