Answer to Question 1

4. Recommend that the client begin a clear liquid diet.
Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Nausea and vomiting are symptoms of theophylline toxicity; the client needs to come to the clinic for an assessment.
Rationale 2: Food poisoning could be the cause of the client's symptoms, but he needs to be assessed for theophylline toxicity.
Rationale 3: Flu could be the cause of the client's symptoms, but he needs to be assessed for theophylline toxicity.
Rationale 4: A clear-liquid diet might help, but the client needs to be assessed for theophylline toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Following instructions indicates compliance with use of the metered-dose inhaler (MDI).
Rationale 2: Rinsing the mouth after using the metered-dose inhaler (MDI) is correct; it will help reduce oral absorption of the drug.
Rationale 3: Fluids are encouraged to liquefy pulmonary secretions when using the metered-dose inhaler (MDI).
Rationale 4: The spacer and inhaler should be rinsed with water and allowed to air-dry.
