Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Holding the breath prevents exhalation of medication still remaining in the mouth. The patient should inhale when the canister is compressed, not as soon as the inhaler enters his or her mouth. The patient should only administer one dose of medication at a time and the patient should wait to exhale until after the breath has been held as long as possible.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Only orphenadrine (Banflex) of these options can be given parenterally, either IV or intramuscularly. The other options are available for oral use only.
