Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
When using inhaled glucocorticoid medications, Candida albicans oropharyngeal infections may be prevented by rinsing the mouth and throat with water after each dose. Patients should also use a spacer to reduce deposits of the drug in the oral cavity. The inhaler should be washed with warm water daily, but not after each use. There is no indication that yogurt is effective.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Montelukast and other leukotriene receptor antagonists are not used to treat acute symptoms. Because they can affect liver enzymes, periodic liver function tests should be performed. Patients taking this drug should not use ibuprofen or aspirin for pain or fever if they have an aspirin sensitivity. Patients will achieve maximum effectiveness if the drug is taken in the evening.
