Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A spacer is indicated for a patient who has difficulty coordinating the steps, like patients with limited mobility/coordination. An alert adolescent with a repaired cleft palate would not need a spacer. Hearing impairment may make teaching the patient to use the inhaler difficult, but it does not indicate the need for a spacer. Although a patient with left-sided hemiparesis could have coordination problems, a patient using a dry powder inhaler does not require the use of spacers.
