1. Crying markedly reduces drug delivery

Explanation

Crying can actually reduce drug delivery. When a person cries, tears are produced and released from the lacrimal glands. These tears can wash away or dilute any medication that has been applied to the eyes, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, it is true that crying markedly reduces drug delivery.

About This Quiz
Respiratory Quiz - Module 10 - Quiz

Respiratory Quiz - Module 10 assesses knowledge on inhalation therapy techniques, including the effectiveness of nebulizers and metered dose inhalers, and the impact of breathing patterns and behaviors on drug delivery to the lungs.

2. Excellent hand-breath co-ordination is required for effective use of pMDIs

Explanation

Effective use of pMDIs (pressurized metered-dose inhalers) requires excellent hand-breath coordination. This means that the user needs to coordinate their hand movements with their breath in order to properly inhale the medication. Without this coordination, the medication may not be delivered effectively to the lungs, reducing its effectiveness. Therefore, the statement is true.

Submit
3. Different techniques are necessary depending on the age and capability of the patient

Explanation

The statement suggests that different techniques are required for patients of different ages and capabilities. This implies that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be effective in healthcare. Different age groups and individuals with varying capabilities may require tailored techniques and interventions to address their specific needs and ensure optimal outcomes. Therefore, the statement is true.

Submit
4. Breathing patterns do not significantly affect drug delivery

Explanation

(false) With all devices breathing patterns influence deposition in the lungs. Higher flow is bad.

Submit
5. A nebuliser should have a fill volume of 2 milliliters

Explanation

(false). A fill volume of 4-5 ml is recommended for all medication unless the nebuliser is specifically designed for lower volumes.

Submit
6. A MDI can be easily used without a spacer

Explanation

(false) The delivery of medication via a pMDI without a spacer is highly ineffective

Submit
7. Masks should be used in front of a spacer for all children

Explanation

(false) Only for infants who cannot breathe through their mouths alone

Submit
8.  Larger particles  are effective deposited to the lungs

Explanation

(false) They are filtered by the nose or only reach the large airways

Submit
9. Nebulisers are more effective at delivering medication than metered dose inhalers

Explanation

(false) Metered dose inhalers can achieve equivalent or even better clinical effect than nebulisers simply by increasing the number of puffs to deliver the same dose.

Submit
10. Nebulisers are better when used by a mask rather than a mouthpiece

Explanation

(false) Mouthpieces should be used whenever possible.

Submit
11. When using a MDI and spacer 4 doses may be fired into the chamber and then inhaled simultaneously

Explanation

(false) Firing multiple puffs of medication into the chamber before inhalation may result in an even lower dose than a single actuation.

Submit
12. Masks are easy to use

Explanation

(false) Poor face mask fit may result in leakage of air around the mask and ineffective deposition. Children often cry.

Submit
13. With optimal technique devices can deliver up to 50% of medication to the lungs

Explanation

(false) Lung deposition ranges up to 15% with most devices.

Submit
14. Nebulisers should have an oxygen flow rate of 4 l/min

Explanation

(false) A flow rate of 6-8 L/min is required to generate fine particles.

Submit
15. Inhalation during sleep with the nebuliser or MDI being delivered close to the sleeping child's mouth and nose may be a solution for such infants.
