Practice Question
A client with asthma is prescribed multiple inhalers including a bronchodilator and a corticosteroid inhaler. In what order should the nurse administer these inhalers?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Administer the bronchodilator inhaler first, followed by the corticosteroid inhaler
Rationale:
🔷 Bronchodilators open the airways, enhancing the delivery and absorption of the corticosteroid.
🔷 Administering corticosteroids first would reduce their effectiveness due to limited airway access.
🔷 This sequence ensures maximum therapeutic benefit.
🔷 The client should also rinse their mouth after using corticosteroids.
