Question 1 of 5
A client has a new prescription for albuterol (Proventil) to be given by inhalation through a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). Which of the following education should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Wait at least 1 minute in between puffs of the same drug. This is important because it allows proper distribution of the medication in the lungs and maximizes its effectiveness. Waiting between puffs prevents overdosing and reduces the risk of side effects.
Choice B (wait at least 5 minutes) is too long of a wait time and may not be necessary for albuterol.
Choice C (give bronchodilators last) is not a universal rule and may depend on the specific medications being used.
Choice D (not rinsing mouth) is incorrect because rinsing the mouth after inhalation is recommended to prevent oral thrush and other side effects.
