Question 1 of 5
The client with COPD is prescribed salmeterol diskus inhaler and fluticasone Rotadisk inhaler. Which instruction should the nurse include to prevent the client from developing oropharyngeal candidiasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A: Drinking fluids before inhaler use may moisten the mouth, but it does not prevent oropharyngeal candidiasis. B: Oropharyngeal candidiasis is a yeast infection that occurs in the mouth due to destruction of the normal flora with the use of a glucocorticoid inhaler (fluticasone [Advair]). The nurse should instruct the client to rinse the mouth after using the glucocorticoid inhaler to prevent its occurrence. C: For best effectiveness, the client should wait 5 minutes between medications, but this has no effect on prevention of oropharyngeal candidiasis. D: This describes the correct technique for using an inhaler but does not reduce the risk of developing oropharyngeal candidiasis.
