"I understand that hypoallergenic products may still contain latex"
"My family can bring balloons to my hospital room to cheer me up"
"My latex allergy will be easy for my nurse to detect because I will have a visible skin reaction."
"My latex allergy will not be listed on my hospital chart because it is not a medication."
The Correct Answer is A

Explanation
A. Encouraging the client to talk may increase oxygen demand and fatigue; it is not the highest priority.
B. Administering a short-acting beta-adrenergic medication (such as albuterol) is the highest priority because it rapidly relieves bronchospasm, improves airflow, and addresses the underlying cause of the acute asthma exacerbation.
C. Providing rest is important but secondary; the airway obstruction must be treated first.
D. Reviewing relaxation techniques may help reduce anxiety but does not immediately relieve bronchospasm and is not the priority intervention.
