Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The most common adverse effects of this combination drug are dry mouth and irritation of the pharynx. The patient should be reassured that these are common and minor effects. Systemic anticholinergic side effects are rare. It is not necessary to discontinue the medication. Patients with peanut allergy may have severe anaphylactic reactions, but the patient's symptoms are not those associated with anaphylaxis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The Advair Diskus is a dry powder inhaler and is activated by inhalation; therefore, hand-lung coordination is not required. There is no need for a spacer. Patients who use the Diskus take 1 inhalation twice daily.
