The nurse obtains a new, dry nebulizer when preparing to give an elderly asthmatic client a nebu-lizer treatment because the risk of infection is increased because:
 
  1. The client's age increases the risk factor for potential infection
  2. The client's immune system is compromised as a result of asthma
  3. There is a potential presence of Pseudomonas organisms in the reservoir
  4. There is a chance for microorganisms to enter the body via the respiratory system
