Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for fluticasone via inhaler. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has a new prescription for ipratropium via metered-dose inhaler. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
