The LPN/LVN is instructing a client about an albuterol metered-dose inhaler. Which statement indicates correct use?
a."I will hold my breath before pressing the inhaler."
b."I will exhale while pressing and breathing quickly."
c."I will breathe in slowly and deeply as I press the inhaler, then hold my breath briefly."
d."I will use the inhaler only after symptoms are severe."
Explicación
Correct inhaler use involves a slow, deep inhalation coordinated with actuation, followed by breath holding to allow medication to deposit in the lungs. Exhaling during actuation wastes the dose. A spacer can improve delivery.
