AAMA CMA Practice Question

A Medical Assistant must ensure that the patient is aware of how to properly use the nebulizer, including assembly and cleaning to prevent infections and ensure the medication is delivered effectively. While the importance of the correct medication is valid, the question specifically asks about the use of the nebulizer device. Being knowledgeable about potential side effects is also critical, but the primary concern in this instance is operational use of the nebulizer. Although insurance coverage is a consideration for some patients, it does not equate to the effective and safe use of the nebulizer itself.
