Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
This technique will decrease the effect of inertial impaction on the particles in the oropharynx.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The most critical factor in passive dry-powder inhaler use is the need for high inspiratory flow. Patients must generate inspiratory flows of at least 40 to 60 L/min to produce a respirable powder aerosol.
