A The use of short acting beta agonists and oral steroids is key during an asthmatic attack to prevent respiratory failure.
D The nurse should also rule out the use of medications such as beta blockers which may predispose to asthmatic attack due to bronchospasms.
F Oxygen therapy should be initiated to prevent hypoxemia due to impaired ventilation. At this point, intubation may not be necessary until first line interventions have been attempted.
B Client teaching on proper inhalation technique is key. The client should also be advised on avoidance of triggers to prevent recurrence of the asthmatic attack. This, however, should be done after the client is stabilized.

Incorrect;

The Trendelenburg position is not recommended. Instead, sitting upright or in a semi-upright position can help expand the chest and improve lung expansion. This position allows the diaphragm to move more freely and can facilitate easier breathing. Leaning forward slightly may also help reduce the feeling of chest tightness.

D Methotrexate is a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) commonly used in the treatment of RA to slow down the progression of joint damage and reduce inflammation. Aspirin, on the other hand, is often used to manage symptoms such as pain and inflammation. Combining these two medications addresses both the underlying disease process and symptom control, respectively, in the management of RA
A While both methotrexate and aspirin have potential side effects, they affect different aspects of rheumatoid arthritis treatment. Methotrexate is primarily used to slow disease progression, while aspirin is used for symptom management.
B Methotrexate and aspirin do not directly interact to reduce each other's side effects.
C While both methotrexate and aspirin have their own roles in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, there is no evidence to suggest that methotrexate enhances the effectiveness of aspirin. They work through different mechanisms and target different aspects of RA management.
