Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After using a nebuliser unit, it should be dismantled, rinsed, and shaken to allow it to dry. This helps to ensure that the unit is clean and free from any medication residue or bacteria that could potentially cause harm to the patient upon next use. Towel drying (as in option C) is not recommended because it can introduce bacteria or other contaminants. Packing it away while it's still potentially damp (option B) or leaving it hanging by the bedside (option D) can also promote bacterial growth or contamination.
