Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Albuterol (SABA).
Rationale:
🔵 Albuterol is a short-acting beta-agonist (SABA) used as a rescue inhaler to treat acute symptoms or prevent exercise-induced bronchospasm.
🔵 It acts within minutes to relax bronchial smooth muscles and improve airflow.
🔵 SABAs are the first-line agents for quick relief in asthma.
🔵 The nurse should reinforce proper inhaler technique and timing prior to physical activity.
🔵 Daily maintenance medications differ and do not provide immediate symptom relief.
