Question

how many milligrams of albuterol should we administer to an adult patient when administering the medication with a small volume nebulizer? 90 mcg 2.5 mg 0.3 mg 0.4 mg

Explanation:

When administering albuterol via a small - volume nebulizer to an adult patient, the standard dose is 2.5 mg. Let's analyze the other options: 90 mcg is a very low dose and not the standard for adults (also, the question asks for milligrams, and 90 mcg is 0.09 mg). 0.3 mg and 0.4 mg are also not the standard adult doses for albuterol via nebulizer.

Answer:

B. 2.5 mg
