which med do you prepare to give this pt?

Answer 1

The medication you should prepare to give the patient is pulmonary surfactant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The med that you should prepare to give to this patient is known as pulmonary surfactant. Pulmonary surfactant is typically administered in cases of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) to help improve lung function. RDS is a condition often seen in premature infants where the lungs have not yet fully developed, leading to difficulty in breathing. Administration of pulmonary surfactant can reduce death due to RDS by 50 percent.
