which medication administration instruction would the nurse provide to a patient using a metered - dose inhaler?\n“take several deep breaths before inhaling the medication.”\n“rinse your mouth with water before medication administration.”\n“place the inhaler at a 45 - degree angle so the majority of medication will get into the lungs.”\n“hold your breath and exhale slowly after medication administration.”
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Taking deep breaths before inhaling helps open airways. Rinsing before is not standard. Inhaler should be upright, not at 45 - degree angle. Holding breath and exhaling slowly after administration helps the medication stay in the lungs for better absorption.
# Answer:
"Hold your breath and exhale slowly after medication administration."
