The nurse is providing instructions about the fluticasone propionate and salmeterol combination inhaler. Which statement about this inhaler is accurate? • It is used for the prevention of bronchospasms. • Patients need to avoid drinking water for 1 hour after taking this drug • It needs to be used with a spacer for best results. It is indicated for the treatment of acute therapy.

Step 1
This is because fluticasone is a corticosteroid that reduces inflammation, while salmeterol is a long-acting bronchodilator that relaxes muscles in the airways to improve breathing. Secondly, there is no general instruction that patients need to avoid drinking Show more…

Read the following four statements carefully. (i) Asthma is a difficulty in breathing causing wheezing due to inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles. (ii) The part of the respiratory system starting with the external nostrils up to the terminal bronchioles constitutes the respiratory or exchange part of the respiratory system. (iii) During swallowing epiglottis can be covered by a thin elastic cartilaginous ilap calied glottis to prevent the entry of food into the larynx. (iw) Binding of oxygen with haemoglobin is primarily related to partial pressure of $\mathrm{O}_{2}$. Which of the above two statements are correct? (a) (ii) and (iii) (b) (iii) and (iw) (c) (i) and (ii) (d) (i) and (iv)
Nasonex Treatment Analysis Nasonex is a nasal spray used to treat allergies. In clinical trials, 1671 subjects were given a placebo, and 2 of them developed upper respiratory tract infections. Another 2103 patients were treated with Nasonex and 6 of them developed upper respiratory tract infections. Assume that Nasonex has no effect on upper respiratory tract infections so that the rate of those infections also applies to Nasonex users. Using the placebo rate of $2 / 1671,$ simulate groups of 2103 subjects given the Nasonex treatment, and determine whether a result of 6 upper respiratory tract infections could easily occur. What does that suggest about Nasonex as a cause of upper respiratory tract infections?

In mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration, the rescuer blows air from his or her own respiratory system into that of the victim. Which of the following statements are correct? (1) Expansion of the victim's lungs is brought about by blowing air in at higher than atmospheric pressure (positive-pressure breathing). (2) During inflation of the lungs, the intrapleural pressure increases. (3) This technique will not work if the victim has a hole in the chest wall, even if the lungs are intact. (4) Expiration during this procedure depends on the elasticity (a) all of these, (b) $1,2,4,(c), 1,2,3,$ (d) 1,4
