Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albuterol (Ventolin) 2.5 mg per nebulizer is the first medication that should be administered during an acute asthma attack as it is a short-acting bronchodilator that can quickly open up the airways and improve breathing. The other medications listed are also important treatments for asthma, but they are not as immediate or fast-acting as albuterol.
