An NP orders an inhaled corticosteroid 2 puffs twice daily and an albuterol metered-dose inhaler 2 puffs every 4 hours as needed for cough or wheezing for a 65-year-old patient with recent onset of reactive airways disease who reports symptoms
 
  occurring every 1 or 2 weeks. At a follow-up appointment several months later, the patient reports no change in frequency of symptoms. The NP's initial action should be to: a. order spirometry to evaluate pulmonary function.
  b. prescribe a systemic corticosteroid to help with symptoms.
  c. ask the patient to describe how the medications are taken each day.
  d. give the patient detailed information about the use of metered-dose inhalers.
