After reviewing information about drugs used to treat lower respiratory system conditions, a group of nursing students demonstrate understanding of the information when they identify which as an example of a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Albuterol is a SABA. Formoterol, salmeterol, arformoterol all are long-acting beta 2 agonists. These are a group of drugs that are used to treat asthma. SABA provides quick relief to patients. These drugs should not take more than twice a week for shortness of the breath. If a patient taking these drugs usually then it is the sign of poorly controlled asthma. These drugs relax the body muscles and help asthma patient to recover their health.
