Answer to Question 1

Following diarrhea, bland foods should be introduced back into the diet, such as baked potato. The patient should not resume a diet with chicken, beef stew, or lentils until later.

Answer to Question 2

It is appropriate to mix ipratropium bromide inhalation solution in the nebulizer with albuterol or metaproterenol if the mixture is used within 1 hour. These drugs have a synergistic effect.
