Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Exhalation into the dry powder inhaler before inspiration can result in loss of drug delivery to the lung.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Because infants, small children (younger than 5 years) (Figure 39-17), and those not able to fol-low instructions cannot develop flow this high, these patient groups cannot use DPIs. Patients with severe airway obstruction also may not be able to achieve the required flow; therefore, DPIs should not be used in the management of acute bronchospasm.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
