Child with laryngotracheobronchitis (Croup).
Question 1 of 5
Which measure would be most effective in aiding bronchodilation in a child with laryngotracheobronchitis (Croup)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Assisting with racemic epinephrine nebulizer therapy. Racemic epinephrine is a vasoconstrictor that reduces airway swelling, aiding bronchodilation in croup. Administering an oral analgesic (
A) would not directly address airway constriction. Urging the child to continue taking oral fluids (
C) is important for hydration but does not directly address bronchodilation. Teaching the child to take long slow breaths (
D) may help with symptoms but would not be as effective as racemic epinephrine therapy in quickly reducing airway swelling.
