Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Immediate relief for the patient at this time can be provided by a bronchodilator to help open up the airways and by oxygen to improve the patient's oxygenation status. Intubation and nitric ox-ide therapy can both be administered to people with asthma; however, these approaches are taken when the others do not work for the patient and depend on the severity of the patient's condi-tion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
