Pharmacy Technician Certification Board Practice Exam Practice Question
Which of the following products should be administered using a nebulizer?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Nebulizers are designed to deliver medication in aerosol form, making them ideal for certain liquid formulations. Pulmicort Respules, option D, is specifically formulated for nebulization, allowing for effective delivery of the corticosteroid budesonide directly to the lungs.
In contrast, Flovent HFA (A) and Advair Diskus (B) are metered-dose inhalers and dry powder inhalers, respectively, intended for inhalation without the use of a nebulizer. Spiriva HandiHaler (C) is also a dry powder inhaler, designed for use with a specific inhalation technique, and is not suitable for nebulization. Thus, only Pulmicort Respules is appropriate for administration via a nebulizer.
