Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing an acute asthma attack. The nurse should expect to administer which of the following medications?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Levalbuterol. During an acute asthma attack, a short-acting beta-agonist like Levalbuterol is administered to rapidly dilate the airways and relieve bronchospasm. It works quickly to provide immediate relief of symptoms. Budesonide (
A) is a corticosteroid used for long-term control and prevention, not for acute attacks. Cromolyn (
B) is a mast cell stabilizer that is used for prophylaxis, not for acute relief. Ipratropium (
C) is an anticholinergic bronchodilator used for maintenance therapy, not typically for acute attacks.
