Question 1 of 5

An adult patient presents to the emergency department with complaints of shortness of breath and increased work of breathing. The patient has a past medical history of asthma, hypertension. The nurse anticipates which of the following medications will be initially administered to the patient?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Albuterol. In an acute asthma exacerbation, albuterol is the initial medication of choice as it is a short-acting beta-agonist that acts quickly to relieve bronchospasm and improve airflow. The patient's symptoms of shortness of breath and increased work of breathing indicate a need for immediate bronchodilation, which albuterol can provide. Theophylline (
A) is a long-acting bronchodilator and not used for initial management of acute asthma exacerbation. Montelukast (
B) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist and not suitable for immediate relief of symptoms. Salmeterol (
D) is a long-acting beta-agonist and also not appropriate for initial treatment of acute exacerbation.
