should the nurse take first?
A. Administer a corticosteroid as prescribed.
B. Administer a bronchodilator as prescribed.
C. Obtain a chest x-ray.
D. Assess the child’s oxygen saturation.

to relax the muscles of the airways and help open them up, which is crucial for immediate relief
of wheezing and shortness of breath.

MMR and Varicella vaccines are typically administered at 12-15 months of age.
