"I should clean the cap of the inhaler once per week.".
"I should inhale the medication quickly".
"I should shake the inhaler before I use it.".

Instead, it is important to clean the inhaler at least once a week or as directed.
Choice B is incorrect because one should inhale the medication slowly, not quickly.
Choice D is incorrect because one should wait 1 minute between puffs, not 15 seconds.
