A nurse teaches a client how to use an inhaler. The client performs the steps incorrectly during practice. Which action is best?
Correct answer: C. Demonstrate the steps and ask for return demonstration
- A. Give the client a leaflet and end the session
- B. Repeat the explanation without observing again
- C. Demonstrate the steps and ask for return demonstration
- D. Tell the client to practise alone at home
Explanation
Demonstration followed by return demonstration confirms whether the client can perform the skill safely. The nurse should correct errors immediately and allow further practice rather than relying only on verbal or written teaching.
