A nurse is teaching a client who has asthma about how to use an Albuterol inhaler. Which of the following actions by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?

A. The client takes a quick inhalation while releasing the medication from the inhaler: Inhalation should be slow and deep to ensure the medication reaches the lower airways. A quick breath may cause the medication to deposit in the mouth or throat, reducing its effectiveness. B. The client waits 10 min between inhalations: When two puffs are prescribed, the recommended wait time between puffs is typically 1 minute, not 10. A long delay does not improve efficacy and may reduce patient adherence due to confusion or inconvenience. C. The client exhales as the medication is released from the inhaler: Exhaling during actuation causes the medication to be blown out of the airway, drastically reducing its therapeutic effect. Patients should exhale before actuation and then inhale the medication deeply. D. The client holds his breath for 10 seconds after inhaling the medication: Holding the breath after inhalation allows the medication to settle into the lungs and enhances its absorption and efficacy. This is a key step in effective inhaler use and indicates proper technique.
