2. You can decrease that side effect by rinsing your mouth after use..

Rationale:
Ipratropium (Atrovent) produces a bitter taste, which may be relieved by rinsing the mouth after use. The client is not experiencing a serious side effect; there is no need to stop the medication. The bitter taste will not go away in time; the client must rinse her mouth. Asking how the client uses the medication may be a good option, but not with the common side effect of bitter taste.
