Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client about the use of a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will inhale the medication quickly and deeply." This statement indicates understanding because with a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), it is important to inhale the medication quickly and deeply to ensure proper delivery to the lungs. Inhaling too slowly may result in the medication depositing in the mouth or throat instead of reaching the lungs where it is needed. This technique helps maximize the effectiveness of the medication.
Choice A is incorrect because shaking the inhaler before each use is not necessary and may actually cause the medication to not be delivered properly.
Choice B is incorrect because holding the breath for 3 seconds after inhaling is not a critical step in using an MDI.
Choice D is incorrect because waiting 10 seconds between puffs is not a standard recommendation for MDI use.
