Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A The use of a spacer is not dependent on the dosage of medication.
B Spacers are especially helpful when the patient has difficulty coordinating the steps involved in self-administering inhaled medications.
C The use of a spacer is not dependent on the schedule of administration.
D Spacers are not required with the use of a dry powder inhaler.

Answer to Question 2

A
The concentration of hydrogen ions determines pH. Low pH designates an acidic environment. High pH designates an alkaline environment. Calcium, magnesium, and sodium are ions, but their imbalances are not direct acid-base impairments.
