The nurse would determine that a patient diagnosed with asthma would need additional teaching regarding home management when which of the following statements is made by the patient?
1. “I should hold my breath while compressing the multi-dose metered inhaler when using a spacer, after which I can exhale fully.”
2. “I should wait 20-30 seconds between the first and second puff of the same medication.”
3. “Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) should not be refrigerated or placed in a humid environment, such as a bathroom.”
4. “I should rinse my mouth and brush my teeth after each dosage to prevent yeast infections in my mouth from the corticosteroid inhalers.”

1 is the answer.

“I should rinse my mouth and brush my teeth after each dosage to prevent yeast infections in my mouth from the corticosteroid inhalers” would be correct; corticosteroids will alter the pH of the oral cavity, and can increase the risk of yeast developing if not removed by brushing the teeth and rinsing the mouth after inhalation.
