Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Colony-stimulating factors stimulate the production of red blood cells, platelets, granulocytes, granulocytemacropha ges, and monocytemacrophages . Colony-stimulating factors will not suppress the T-cell production, inhibit protein production, or stimulate antibody production.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The patient should be instructed to use a spacer to increase compliance and accuracy of administration. The corticosteroid should be administered after the bronchodilator. The increase in fluids will not affect the administration of the inhaler. The patient should hold her breath for several seconds after administration of the inhaler.
