Question 1 of 5

A nurse is reinforcing teaching with the parents of a child who is starting to use a spacer with a metered-dose inhaler (MDI) to treat asthma. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: The spacer increases the amount of medication delivered to the lungs. Spacers are used with MDIs to help improve medication delivery to the lungs by reducing the speed of medication particles and coordinating inhalation with activation of the MDI. Spacers also reduce the amount of medication deposited in the mouth and throat, hence increasing the amount reaching the lungs.


Choice A is incorrect as the spacer actually reduces medication deposition in the oropharynx.
Choice B is incorrect because inhaling too rapidly may result in the medication not reaching the lungs effectively.
Choice C is incorrect because covering the exhalation slots with lips may result in ineffective medication delivery.
