MULTIDIMENSIONAL CARE 1 2026 TEST PAPER
SOLVED QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS
◉ What are the side effects of long-term corticosteroid use? Answer:
Oral candidiasis, throat irritation, dry mouth, tachycardia.
◉ What is a key advantage of dry-powder inhalers (DPIs)? Answer:
They are portable and efficient for medication delivery.
◉ What is a disadvantage of nebulizers? Answer: They have high
costs and setup requirements.
◉ What is the role of Beta 2 agonists in asthma treatment? Answer:
They provide bronchodilation but do not reduce inflammation.
◉ What is the effect of increased cAMP in airway smooth muscle?
Answer: It causes smooth muscle relaxation and bronchodilation.
◉ What is the mechanism of action for long-acting Beta 2 adrenergic
agonists? Answer: They provide sustained bronchodilation.
, ◉ What should patients do if prescribed two different inhaled
medications? Answer: Wait 5 minutes between taking the
medications.
◉ What is the primary action of anticholinergics in respiratory
therapy? Answer: To achieve bronchodilation and reduce mucus
production.
◉ What are the three muscarinic receptors targeted by
anticholinergics? Answer: M1, M2, and M3 receptors.
◉ What condition is Ipratropium Bromide primarily used to treat?
Answer: Bronchospasm associated with COPD, chronic bronchitis,
and emphysema.
◉ What is a key nursing consideration for patients using
corticosteroids? Answer: Monitor for signs of oral thrush and advise
using a bronchodilator first.
◉ What is the purpose of bronchodilation in asthma management?
Answer: To decrease airway resistance and improve airflow.
◉ What is the clinical significance of Beta 2 agonists? Answer: They
improve oxygenation by opening the airway.
