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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Administer a short-acting ß2-agonist (SAB
A). In status asthmaticus, prompt relief of bronchoconstriction is crucial to prevent respiratory failure. SABAs like albuterol provide quick bronchodilation, improving airflow. Administering an inhaled glucocorticoid (
A) is important for long-term control but not for immediate relief. Determining the cause (
B) and obtaining a peak flow reading (
C) are important, but not as urgent as providing immediate bronchodilation in status asthmaticus.
