Question

After the patient takes a dose of an inhaled corticosteroid, such as fluticasone (Flovent), what is the most important action the patient needs to do next
a) Hold the breath for 60 seconds.
b) Rinse out the mouth with water.
c) Follow the corticosteroid with a bronchodilator inhaler, if ordered.
d) Repeat the dose in 15 minutes if the patient feels short of breath.

Expert Solution
Check Mark
Step 1 Concept introduction

An inhaler is a device that is commonly used to administer medication via the nasal route. This is most commonly used to treat asthma or lung diseases. This inhaler consists of medications that help to relieve the airway from inflammation or allergy and improves breathing.

Bronchodilators, corticosteroids, immune modulators, anesthetics, antimicrobials, and mucolytic agents are some inhalant drugs used. This way of drug administration acts on the correct target and exerts desired effect. And, also this has very little systemic toxicity effect.

Step 2 Correct answer and explanation

Fluticasone (Flovent) is a corticosteroid medication that is inhaled to relieve and prevent asthma symptoms. The patient should wash, gargle and rinse their mouth with water immediately after inhalation. 

This is because this helps to prevent fungal infection and the development of oral Candidiasis. This also helps to prevent throat irritation and hoarseness. Therefore, option b is a correct and suitable action.
