You instruct a clinic patient on using an inhaler for his asthma attacks. What information is correct about the use of an inhaler?
 
  1. The medication must go into the back of the nose.
  2. The medication must go directly into the throat.
  3. The medication must get to the ears.
  4. The medication must go into the lungs.

Question 2

A mother has concerns about the immunization scheduled for this clinic visit having adverse effects on her child. The nurse's best response to the mother would be:
 
  1. The doctor wants the child to have the shot.
  2. We will give the injection at the next visit.
  3. More complications are caused by the disease than the immunization.
  4. Side effects are expected, and there is nothing to worry about.

Answer to Question 1

4
If using inhalers, patients must be carefully instructed so the medication goes all the way into the lungs, not just at the back of the nose or throat.

Answer to Question 2

3
Although some parents are afraid of adverse effects from immunizations, their children are sta-tistically more likely to have complications from the disease than they are to experience serious side effects from the immunization.
