Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
A metered-dose inhaler has a canister that contains medication under pressure. MDI's are not battery powered and do not contain powdered medications. An MDI does not combine a medication with pure oxygen to create an inhalable mist; this describes a nebulizer.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Nausea usually precedes vomiting. It is associated with dizziness and perspiration. Impaired swallowing is associated with clients who have dysphagia and not typically nausea. Slow pulse rate is not a symptom of nausea. Emotional distress may or may not be related to the client's condition.
