Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Aerosol generators in use include pressurized metered dose inhalers (pMDIs) with or without spacers/holding chambers, dry powder inhalers (DPIs), small and large volume (jet) nebulizers, ultrasonic nebulizers (USNs), hand-bulb atomizers (including nasal spray pumps), vibrating mesh nebulizers, and a number of emerging technologies.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that nebulizers should be sterilized between patients, frequently replaced with disinfected or sterile units, or rinsed with sterile water (not tap water), and air-dried every 24 hr.
