Extract:
A nurse is caring for an 11-year-old client who is experiencing an acute asthma attack.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following medications should the nurse expect to administer first?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Albuterol. Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist bronchodilator used for acute bronchospasm, making it the priority to administer first in a patient experiencing respiratory distress. It acts quickly to dilate the airways and improve airflow, providing immediate relief. Budesonide (
A) and Fluticasone (
C) are inhaled corticosteroids used for long-term control and prevention of asthma symptoms, not for immediate relief. Montelukast (
D) is a leukotriene receptor antagonist used for chronic asthma management, also not for acute exacerbations. In summary, Albuterol is the most appropriate choice for immediate relief of bronchospasm in an emergency situation.
