Answer to Question 1

B
Spacers are especially helpful when the client has difficulty coordinating the steps involved in self-administering inhaled medications.
The use of a spacer is not dependent on the dosage of medication.
The use of a spacer is not dependent on the schedule of administration.
Spacers are not required with the use of a dry powder inhaler.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A The skin should be cleansed with a nonionic surfactant solution and completely dried, and a protective moisturizer applied to keep the epidermis well lubricated.
B Hydrogen peroxide is cytotoxic and should not be used. A heat lamp is not necessary and would increase the patient's risk of an accidental burn.
C The area should not be soaked, as this may lead to maceration of the skin.
D The area should not be cleansed with an astringent and painted with povidone-iodine. An astringent may cause excessive drying of the tissue, and povidone-iodine is cytotoxic.
