Question

question: 22 of 25
for which of the following reasons should a client attach a spacer to a metered - dose inhaler?
to increase the amount of medication delivered to the lungs
to increase the amount of medication delivered to the oropharynx
to increase the amount of medication delivered on exhalation
to increase the speed of medication delivery into the mouth

Explanation:

A spacer for a metered-dose inhaler holds the medication mist after actuation, allowing the client to inhale slowly and deeply. This reduces medication deposition in the mouth/oropharynx and maximizes the amount that reaches the lungs, improving treatment efficacy and reducing side effects.

Answer:

To increase the amount of medication delivered to the lungs
