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.
