Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has asthma and a new prescription for a metered-dose inhaler with a spacer. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Hold your breath for 5 seconds after inhaling the medication. This instruction is important because it allows the medication to be fully absorbed into the lungs. Holding the breath for 5 seconds ensures that the medication has enough time to reach the deeper airways where it can be most effective.
Other choices are incorrect:
A: Shaking the inhaler well before attaching it to the spacer is not necessary and may cause the medication to not be delivered properly.
B: Inhaling quickly through the spacer after pressing the inhaler may lead to improper inhalation technique and less effective medication delivery.
D: Cleaning the spacer with alcohol wipes after each use is important for hygiene but not directly related to proper inhaler technique.
