Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A continuous cold-nebulized bland aerosol will produce vasoconstriction and reduce edema. Continuous heated bland aerosol is used for patients with hypothermia. A dry-powder inhaler with a bronchodilator is used to relieve a bronchospasm. Humidity from a bubble humidifier will not reduce subglottic edema.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Continuous bland aerosols should not be used for patients with asthma because of bronchospasm. For patients who have ineffective cough mechanisms, continuous aerosol use can cause overhy-dration.
