الإجابة: D. Oral prednisone
For a mild/moderate exacerbation, the lecture gives inhaled SABA, consider SAMA, plus oral corticosteroids. Patients are discharged on a short course of oral corticosteroid to settle the late-phase inflammation. Ipratropium is used only for repeated dosing in the acute setting, together with albuterol, not as a take-home drug. Antibiotics and antihistamines play no routine role. The bank's original key (ipratropium) was wrong, and the corrected key D matches the sources.
