Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for an 18-month-old toddler in the emergency department. The nurse reviews the toddler's medical record and assessment findings. Which of the following provider prescriptions should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: nebulized albuterol. This is because nebulized albuterol is commonly used to treat respiratory conditions such as asthma or bronchiolitis in young children. At 18 months old, toddlers are more prone to respiratory issues. Acetaminophen suppository (
A) may be used for fever management but is not specific to respiratory conditions. Oral rehydration solution (
B) is typically used for dehydration, which may not be the primary concern in this case. Intravenous antibiotics (
D) are not typically the first line of treatment for respiratory conditions in toddlers. The other choices are not relevant to treating respiratory conditions in this situation.
