Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
For administration of maintenance therapy bronchodilators and antiinflammatory agents to adults, a pMDI with a valved holding chamber is the most convenient, versatile, and cost-effective approach. Dry powder inhalers are gaining popularity as an equivalent to pMDIs for maintenance therapy with available drugs for patients capable of generating adequate inspir-atory flow.
