a 31 - year - old female is experiencing an acute asthma attack. she is conscious and alert, but in obvious respiratory distress. after assisting her with her prescribed mdi, you should:
check the drugs expiration date to ensure that it is still current.
contact medical control and apprise him or her of what you did.
reassess the patient and document her response to the medication.
administer another treatment in 30 seconds if she is still in distress.

Explanation:

After administering a prescribed medication like an MDI for an asthma - attack, the next crucial step is to evaluate the patient's response to the treatment and document it. Checking the expiration date should be done before administering the drug. Contacting medical control may be done later if needed. Administering another treatment too soon without reassessment is not appropriate.

Answer:

C. reassess the patient and document her response to the medication.
