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: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Albuterol. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator used to relieve acute asthma symptoms by quickly opening the airways. It acts rapidly to provide immediate relief during an asthma attack. Dextromethorphan (
A) is a cough suppressant not used for asthma. Budesonide (
B) is an inhaled corticosteroid for long-term asthma control, not for acute attacks. Salmeterol (
C) is a long-acting beta-agonist for maintenance therapy, not for acute attacks. In summary, Albuterol is the correct choice for managing acute asthma exacerbations due to its rapid bronchodilator effect.
