Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Inhaled drugs decrease adverse effects.
Rationale 2: Inhaled drugs are not as convenient as oral.
Rationale 3: Inhaled drugs are delivered to local sites.
Rationale 4: Inhalation is the most common route of administration; it is rapid, and allows for quick absorption to direct airway.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The client is not experiencing a serious side effect; there is no need to stop the medication.
Rationale 2: The bitter taste will not go away in time; the client must rinse her mouth.
Rationale 3: Ipratropium (Atrovent) produces a bitter taste, which may be relieved by rinsing the mouth after use.
Rationale 4: Asking how the client uses the medication may be a good option, but not with the common side effect of bitter taste.
