Which of the following is not recommended for delivery of an aerosol treatment to an asthmatic patient?

Hand held nebulizer
Nebulizer with a face mask
Ultrasonic nebulizer
IPPB

Explanation

Answer: C-Deliver of aerosol via ultrasonic nebulization is not recommended for an asthmatic patient.

All devices can provoke further bronchospasm but an ultrasonic nebulizer poses the biggest chance of additional bronchospasm. This is due to the mist being denser with this form of delivery.
