Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Monitoring for reactive bronchospasm should consist of peak flow measurements or FEV1 be-fore and after therapy; auscultation for adventitious breath sounds; observation of the patient's breathing pattern and overall appearance; and, most essentially, communication with the patient during therapy to determine the perceived work of breathing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Breath-actuated nebulizers generate aerosol only during inspiration. It is true that breath-actuated pressure metered dose inhalers do not require good hand-breath coordination, and because of that they decrease aerosol medication waste. Patients with severe airway obstruction may not have the capability of generating enough flow to trigger the breath actuator.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
