Which medication is Solu-Cortef, a corticosteroid, listed among common emergency drugs?

• A. Solu-Cortef
• B. Diphenhydramine
• C. Atropine
• D. Verapamil

Answer: (A)

Recognizing corticosteroids in emergency medication lists. Solu-Cortef is hydrocortisone sodium succinate, a corticosteroid used in emergency care to treat acute adrenal crises and to reduce inflammation or immune responses during severe allergic reactions. Because the question asks which item on the list is the corticosteroid Solu-Cortef, the best answer is the medication itself, Solu-Cortef. The other drugs listed serve different roles—an antihistamine, an anticholinergic, and a calcium channel blocker—which are not corticosteroids and do not carry the Solu-Cortef name.
