Which of the following is the best prevention of an asthma attack?
ammonia inhalants
bronchodilator
automated defibrillator
pulse oximeter
bronchodilator
Rationale: A bronchodilator would be the best item to use in the event that a patient begins to have an asthma attack. A bronchodilator will open the bronchioles of the lungs and aid the patient in breathing. Ammonia inhalants are used for syncope, a pulse oximeter is a meter used during oral surgery, and a defibrillator would be used to shock the heart into rhythm in the event the patient went into cardiac arrest.
