Answer 1

Corticosteroids, Nebulized epinephrine, and Albuterol are the medications that would be administered to a 30-month old child diagnosed with moderate croup.

Step-by-step explanation:

The provider would administer corticosteroids, Nebulized epinephrine, and Albuterol to a 30-month old child diagnosed with moderate croup.

Corticosteroids help reduce inflammation in the airways. Nebulized epinephrine helps relax the muscles and reduce swelling in the airways, making it easier to breathe. Albuterol is a bronchodilator that helps widen the airways, providing relief from symptoms of croup.
