A nurse is reviewing the medication administration record (MAR) of a client who requires fluticasone MDI one puff and albuterol MDI two puffs. Which of the following actions should the nurse plan to take? Place the following steps in the correct order.

Administering albuterol first is crucial because it is a bronchodilator that will help open the airways before administering the anti-inflammatory fluticasone. The client should rest for 1 minute between puffs of albuterol to allow for the medication to take effect. After taking the second puff of albuterol, a longer rest of 5 minutes allows the client to experience the full effects of the bronchodilator. Finally, administering fluticasone afterward will help reduce inflammation in the airways, maximizing the benefit of both medications.
