Question 5 of 5
In providing care to a patient admitted with an acute asthma exacerbation, the nurse prepares which 'rescue' medication for administration first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists (SABAs), such as albuterol, are the first-line treatment for acute asthma exacerbations. They work quickly to relax the muscles around the airways, providing immediate relief of bronchospasm and improving airflow. LABAs, mucolytics, and inhaled corticosteroids are not suitable for immediate relief.
