Question 1 of 5
The client is being discharged with a prescription for an inhaled glucocorticoid for asthma. Which of the following statements indicates additional education is needed prior to discharge?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is, 'I will wait five minutes after taking this medication and then gargle water.' After using an inhaled glucocorticoid, it is essential to wait for 5 minutes and then gargle water to remove any residue from the mouth, which can reduce the risk of developing thrush, a fungal infection.
Choice A is correct as holding the breath for 10 seconds after each puff helps the medication reach deep into the lungs.
Choice C is also correct as waiting at least one minute between puffs ensures proper delivery of the medication.
Choice D is incorrect because it is important to take the medication daily as prescribed to control asthma symptoms, even if the person is not experiencing any at that moment.
