The goal for treatment of an asthma attack is to relieve
bronchospasms and keep the oxygen saturation greater than
90%. Albuterol is a short-acting inhaled beta2-adrenergic

attack. Pulse oximetry is an objective data point that the
nurse should use to determine oxygenation status of the

fatigued to continue with the increased work of breathing
required in an asthma attack and, therefore, should not be
used to evaluate effectiveness of treatment.

infection, namely, fever and otalgia (ear pain). It is one of the
most prevalent early childhood illnesses. Treatment for AOM
is one of the most common reasons for antibiotic use in the
, 4|Page
ambulatory setting. When antibiotics are necessary, it is
most important to complete the entire course to prevent
antibiotic resistance. The child should be seen after
antibiotic therapy is complete to ensure that the infection has
resolved. Supportive care of AOM includes treating the fever
and pain. Decongestants or antihistamines are not
recommended for children with ear infections.
