To control asthma, a client in a residential treatment facility uses a fluticasone propionate and salmeterol discus inhalation system, which provides an inhaled powdered form of these combined medications. Which instruction should the nurse provide to this client's caregivers?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The fluticasone propionate and salmeterol discus inhalation system is designed for twice-daily use to provide long-term asthma control. Using it more frequently increases the risk of side effects without additional benefits, and it is not intended for acute asthma attacks.
