Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client with a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer during an acute attack?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Inhaled albuterol. During an acute asthma attack, bronchodilation is crucial to relieve airway constriction and improve breathing. Albuterol is a short-acting beta agonist that acts quickly to relax the smooth muscles in the airways, providing immediate relief. Oral corticosteroids (choice
A) are used for long-term control, not for immediate relief during an acute attack. Montelukast (choice
C) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for maintenance therapy, not for acute attacks. Cromolyn sodium (choice
