NCLEX-RN Practice Test The nurse is teaching a client on the proper technique to use an inhaler with a spacer for asthma management. Which action by the client would require intervention by the nurse? Posted on March 9, 2022 by NCLEX.ME Nurse The client shakes the unit vigorously 3 or 4 times. The client places the inhaler over his tongue and seals his lips tightly around it. The client administers the next puff immediately after exhaling. After administering the dose, the client keeps his lips closed and holds his breath for at least 10 seconds before exhaling. Number 3 is correct. Options 1, 2, and 4 describe the proper technique for use of an inhaler with a spacer. The client should wait at least 1 minute between puffs. NCLEX.ME Nurse View all posts by NCLEX.ME Nurse →
