Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching to a school-age child who has asthma. Which of the following medications should the nurse instruct the child to use to abort an ongoing attack?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Albuterol. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator that is used to quickly relieve symptoms during an asthma attack by relaxing the muscles in the airways and allowing easier breathing. It is a rescue medication that provides rapid relief and helps open up the airways, making it easier to breathe during an asthma attack. Montelukast (
A) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for long-term control of asthma symptoms. Fluticasone (
B) is an inhaled corticosteroid used for long-term control and prevention of asthma symptoms. Cromolyn (
C) is a mast cell stabilizer used for prevention of asthma symptoms, not for aborting an ongoing attack.
