Unfortunately the technician who is doing the stress does not know that the patient is a COPD patient. He gives the patient dipyridamole and the patient starts to get short of breath. You are called to the scene as this is your patient on the short stay floor.

Your response to the situation should consist of at least one of the following - which one?

  1. Start a nebulizer with Albuterol in it
  2. Immediately administer Large dose Prednisone IV/PO
  3. Start an infusion of Aminophylline
  4. Take the patient to the cath lab
  5. Reassure the patient and let him know that this will last only about 5 minutes.
