Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client with a new diagnosis of asthma. Which of the following medications should the nurse instruct the client to use when experiencing an acute asthma attack?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Albuterol. During an acute asthma attack, a short-acting beta-agonist like albuterol is the first-line medication to quickly relieve bronchospasm and improve airflow. Albuterol works by relaxing the smooth muscles in the airways, providing rapid relief of symptoms. It is a rescue medication used for quick relief during acute exacerbations. Other choices like A: Ipratropium bromide is a short-acting anticholinergic used as an additional bronchodilator but is not the first choice for acute attacks. C: Salmeterol is a long-acting beta-agonist used for maintenance therapy, not for acute attacks. D: Budesonide is an inhaled corticosteroid used for long-term control, not for immediate relief during an acute attack.
