Questions and Answers

What is the primary purpose of measuring peak expiratory flow (PEF)?

  • To determine the effectiveness of bronchodilators
  • To monitor the progression of chronic inflammatory disease
  • To measure the severity of airway constriction (correct)
  • To assess the overall lung function
  • What is the advantage of using inhalation to administer medication for asthma?

  • It allows for faster absorption of the medication
  • It reduces the frequency of dosing
  • It minimizes systemic effects and provides rapid relief of acute attacks (correct)
  • It increases the bioavailability of the medication
  • What is the purpose of using a spacer with a Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI)?

  • To improve the coordination of inhalation and activation
  • To reduce the frequency of dosing
  • To increase the dose of medication delivered
  • To increase the amount of medication that reaches the lungs (correct)
  • Which type of inhaler is breath-activated, making it easier to use?
