Inhaling rapidly with the spacer can lead to improper medication delivery, potentially reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.

Covering the exhalation slots of the spacer can interfere with proper inhalation technique, impacting medication delivery to the lungs.

The spacer is designed to minimize medication deposition in the oropharynx, optimizing delivery to the lungs for better therapeutic outcomes.

Flushing the tube with water is necessary after checking residual stomach contents to clear the tube, but measuring stomach contents comes first to ensure the tube is clear for proper medication administration.

Elevating the head of the bed is important during and after enteral feeding to prevent aspiration, but it is not the first action before medication administration.

Returning gastric content into the gastrostomy tube may be necessary after assessing and managing residual stomach contents, but it is not the initial step in medication administration.

Using lotion on irritated skin before applying a new patch may interfere with adhesion and absorption of the medication, indicating a misunderstanding of proper patch application.

Lecture involves one-way communication where information is delivered by the nurse to the client without active participation. It does not confirm understanding or assess learning through client feedback.

Question and answer involves the nurse posing questions to assess understanding but may not actively involve the client in demonstrating knowledge or skills.

Role play involves simulating scenarios to practice skills or behaviors, which may not directly assess the client's understanding of a specific procedure.

Ensuring fluid and electrolyte balance is maintained is an important aspect of patient care but is not the primary reason for flushing the feeding tube between medications.

While giving the patient fluid intake is beneficial, the primary purpose of flushing the tube between medications is to prevent interactions between different medications.
