Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing discharge teaching with a client following an episode of status asthmaticus. The client has a prescription for two inhalations from an albuterol metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "I will hold my breath at least 10 seconds after inhaling the medication." Holding the breath for at least 10 seconds after inhaling allows the medication to reach deep into the lungs for better absorption and effectiveness. This statement demonstrates an understanding of optimal inhaler technique, ensuring maximum benefit from the medication.
Choice A is incorrect because the hand used to hold the inhaler does not impact the effectiveness of the medication.
Choice C is incorrect as waiting 10 minutes between inhalations is not recommended and could delay necessary treatment.
Choice D is incorrect as tilting the head forward does not affect the delivery of the medication.
