Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following medications should the nurse instruct the client to use to abort an acute asthma attack?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Albuterol. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator used for quick relief during an acute asthma attack. It works rapidly to open the airways and provide immediate relief of symptoms. Beclomethasone (
A) is an inhaled corticosteroid used for long-term control, not for acute attacks. Formoterol (
B) and Salmeterol (
D) are long-acting beta-agonists used for maintenance therapy, not for acute relief.
Therefore, Albuterol is the correct choice for aborting an acute asthma attack due to its fast-acting bronchodilator effects.
