What medication should be administered after reporting additional findings to the physician?

In this scenario, administering albuterol aerosol is the most appropriate choice because albuterol is a bronchodilator that acts quickly to relieve bronchospasm in conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). If additional findings indicate worsening respiratory distress or wheezing, the immediate goal is to open the airways and improve airflow, making albuterol the first-line treatment.

Albuterol can provide rapid relief from symptoms, and if the findings reported to the physician suggest an acute exacerbation requiring such a response, this medication is typically indicated. Proper monitoring should follow the administration of albuterol, and subsequent evaluations of the patient's response should guide further treatment steps.

While oxygen therapy may be needed if the patient is hypoxic and corticosteroids may be beneficial in reducing inflammation, they would typically be secondary considerations following the immediate action required to address airway constriction. Antibiotics would be reserved for situations where an infection is suspected or confirmed, which may not be the case based on the findings reported.
