Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Be careful when decreasing the dosage or stopping the use of cromolyn. This decrease in dosage can cause asthmatic symptoms to start up again.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The patient should exhale, and then activate the inhaler as the next inspiration begins. This will carry medication down into the lungs.
