Nurse Teachings on Precautions to be Exercised While Using a Beta-2 Agonist Diskus
Patient/caregiver was educated on precautions to be exercised while using a Beta-2 agonist diskus as follows:
- Do not use a spacer with the Beta-2 agonist inhalation diskus, as spacers cannot help powder form of the inhaler.
- Do not wet or wash the diskus and the mouthpiece. Always, maintain them dry.
- After loading the medication ready to inhale, one important precaution regarding using a diskus is to not drop the diskus or change the position of the diskus or breathe into the diskus. This can result in losing the dose of Beta-2 agonist medication and wastage. You should load the diskus again to continue inhale the medication.
- Beta-2 agonist inhalation diskus usually comes with a built-in counter to indicate the number of doses left. The counter automatically adjusts to the number of doses left in the diskus, every time the diskus is used.
- Keep a watch on these numbers to order for a timely refill, as the number draw closer to zero.
