Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse would teach the client to shake the inhaler well immediately before use to aerosolize the fine particles, take a deep breath and then exhale completely through the nose, position the inhaler to just in front of his or her mouth, push down on the canister, and inhale as slowly and deeply as possible through the mouth. Next the nurse would instruct the client to hold his or her breath for about 10 seconds and then to slowly exhale with pursed lips.

Answer to Question 2

D

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
