Title: To minimize a patient's infection risk between drug treatments with a small-volume jet nebulizer ... Post by: jj35 on Feb 25, 2018 To minimize a patient's infection risk between drug treatments with a small-volume jet nebulizer (SVN), what would you do?
a. Rinse the SVN with sterile water; air dry. b. Carefully repackage the SVN in its wet state. c. Rinse the SVN with tap water; run until dry. d. Throw out the SVN after every treatment. Q. 2 A patient with an acute exacerbation of asthma is not responding to the standard dose and fre-quency of an aerosolized bronchodilator and is now receiving small-volume jet nebulizer (SVN) therapy every 30 min. Which of the following would you recommend to the patient's physician at this time? a. Discontinue the aerosolized bronchodila-tor. b. Increase the frequency of SVN therapy to every 10 min. c. Consider continuous nebulization of the drug. d. Add more diluent to the SVN to extend treatment time. Q. 3 What is the major problem with using large volume nebulizers for continuous aerosol drug thera-py? a. Decreased pulmonary deposition b. Drug reconcentration and toxicity c. Frequent interruption of therapy d. Greater waste of drug Q. 4 To decrease the dead space volume of a small-volume jet nebulizer during drug administration, what should you do? a. Decrease the nebulizer flow. b. Turn the nebulizer upside-down. c. Continue treatment until nebulizer begins to sputter. d. Increase the nebulizer flow. Q. 5 In mouth-breathing adult patients, which of the following factors is crucial in determining whether to use a mask or mouthpiece for aerosol drug delivery with a small-volume jet nebulizer? a. Clinician experience b. Drug concentration c. Patient preference and comfort d.

Post by: pavba on Feb 25, 2018 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that nebulizers be cleaned and dis-infected, or rinsed with sterile water, and air-dried between uses. An alternative approach is to provide continuous nebulization with a specialized large-volume nebulizer. A potential problem with continuous bronchodilator therapy is drug concentration increase. The selection of delivery method (mask or mouthpiece) should be based on patient ability, pref-erence, and comfort.
