Despite repeated demonstrations of proper inhaler use by the nurse, the client is unable to return a proper demonstration on the training inhaler. The client is becoming frustrated. The best action for the nurse to take is to:

1. Encourage the client to keep practicing just a little longer.

2. Notify the health care provider that the client is incompetent.

3. Provide a spacer for use with the inhaler.

4. Switch to an oral form of a beta agonist.
