Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Obtaining a peak flow reading provides information about the severity of asthma, but it is not the immediate priority during an acute exacerbation.

Choice B rationale

Administering an inhaled glucocorticoid can help in managing inflammation, but it takes time to work and is not the immediate priority.

Choice C rationale

Determining the cause of the acute exacerbation is important for long-term management but is not the immediate priority.

Choice D rationale

Administering a short-acting B2-agonist (SABA) is the priority because it provides rapid bronchodilation, helping to alleviate the airway obstruction quickly.

A. Breast cancer survivor for 8 years. B. 65 years of age. C. Alcohol use disorder. D. Pacemaker.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

A breast cancer survivor for 8 years without recurrence is generally considered for transplantation if otherwise healthy.

Choice B rationale

Age 65 is not an absolute contraindication for kidney transplantation. Many factors such as overall health status are considered.

Choice C rationale

Alcohol use disorder is a contraindication due to the potential for poor adherence to post-transplant care and medication, as well as the increased risk of liver damage.

Choice D rationale

Having a pacemaker is not an absolute contraindication for a kidney transplant; individuals with pacemakers can still be eligible for transplantation if otherwise healthy.
