Which time is best to obtain peak flow readings?
Five minutes after meals
Between noon and 2:00 p.m.
Early in the morning on an empty stomach
Two hours after inhaling a short-acting β 2 agonist
Between noon and 2:00 p.m.
The peak flow readings should be taken between noon and 2:00 p.m. because
the peak flow is highest during this period. The patient may feel nauseous if the
peak flow readings are taken five minutes after meals. The peak flow readings
are not at a high level early in the morning. Since the peak effect of the short-
acting β 2agonists occurs in about 20 minutes, peak flows would be measured
about 20 minutes after administration of the medication.
To prevent respiratory complications of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,
which vaccines will the nurse plan to administer? Select all that apply.
Tetanus
Influenza
Herpes zoster
Pneumococcal
Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG)
Influenza
Pneumococcal
The pneumococcal and influenza vaccines are important for patients with a
history of heart or lung disease to prevent viral and bacterial pneumonia.
Tetanus vaccine may be needed if there is possible exposure to Clostridium
tetani but will not protect against respiratory infection. Herpes zoster
immunization will protect from shingles but will not prevent respiratory
infections. BCG is used to protect against tuberculosis in some countries but
not in the United States.

Which factors are possible triggers for asthma exacerbations? Select all that
apply.
Select all that apply
Aspirin
Perfumes
Animal dander
Humid weather
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Aspirin
Perfumes
Animal dander
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Aspirin and other nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), perfumes,
animal dander, and GERD are all possible triggers for acute asthma
exacerbations. Humidity is not an asthma trigger.
Which action by a patient indicates a good understanding of the best way to
determine if the prescribed metered-dose inhaler (MDI) canister is empty?
Placing it in water to see if it floats
Keeping track of the number of inhalations used
Shaking the canister while holding it next to the ear
Checking the indicator line on the side of the canister
Keeping track of the number of inhalations used
The best method to determine when to replace an MDI for a regularly
scheduled medication is by knowing the maximum puffs available per MDI and
then replacing it when those inhalations have been used (100 puffs/2 puffs
each day = 50 days). For rescue MDI inhalers which are used only PRN, the
patient will need to keep track of the doses used. Although floating the canister
in water was previously recommended, this method may lead to water leaking
into the MDI and is not recommended now. Shaking the canister is inaccurate,
as the patient may not hear anything even if the MDI is not empty. MDIs do not
have an indicator line on the canister and most do not have a counter.
