Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has asthma about using a beclomethasone inhaler along with an albuterol inhaler. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include about the beclomethasone inhaler?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: You should gargle with water after each use of this inhaler. Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid inhaler that can cause oral thrush. Gargling with water helps prevent the development of oral thrush by removing any residual medication left in the mouth.
Choices B, C, and D are incorrect. B: Using a spacer with beclomethasone inhaler can improve drug delivery to the lungs. C: Beclomethasone is a maintenance medication for asthma, not for acute incidents. D: Beclomethasone should be used regularly, not before albuterol, which is a reliever inhaler.
