An asthmatic attack is horrible to view and worse to experience. Which of the following should NOT be done in helping a class member to manage an asthmatic attack?
  1. Have the person use inhaler as prescribed
  2. Have the person cease activity
  3. Have the person drink cold fluids
  4. Pursue emergency care if breathing is shallow
Explanation
Answer: C - One of the little known steps in managing an asthmatic attack is to have the victim drink a warm liquid, slowly. It is important for a class member to immediately cease activity upon first experiencing symptoms, use emergency inhaler, drink warm fluids and pursue further assistance if the person’s coloring is off (blue cast to lips or fingernails) or if breathing remains shallow or air-hungry.
