Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a school-age child who has asthma about using an albuterol metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: D. Take the medication 15 min before playing sports.
Rationale: Taking albuterol 15 minutes before playing sports allows it to take effect before exposure to triggers, optimizing bronchodilation. This timing ensures that the medication works effectively to prevent exercise-induced asthma symptoms. Waiting 10 seconds between inhalations (choice
B) may help ensure proper medication delivery, but it is not as critical as timing before activities. Cleaning the mouthpiece every 2 weeks (choice
A) is important for hygiene but not directly related to optimal medication use. Taking a quick inhalation when pressing the dispenser (choice
C) may lead to improper medication delivery.
Choices E, F, and G are not provided.
