What is the priority intervention for a child experiencing status asthmaticus?

  1. Administer oxygen

  2. Give a short-acting ß2-agonist (SABA)

  3. Start IV fluids

  4. Monitor pulse oximetry

The correct answer is: Give a short-acting ß2-agonist (SABA)

A Administering oxygen is an important intervention for a child experiencing status asthmaticus, but it is not the priority intervention. Providing oxygen should be done in conjunction with administering other appropriate interventions. C: Starting IV fluids is not the priority intervention for a child experiencing status asthmaticus. While maintaining hydration is important, it is not the immediate concern in treating this condition. D: Monitoring pulse oximetry is an important part of assessing the child's respiratory status, but it is not the priority intervention. Administering appropriate medication should be the first step in treating status asthmaticus.
