The nurse should emphasize to the client to rinse mouth with water after each use and recommend using a spacer device with metered dose inhalers can help prevent infection. It would be desirable to use gargle once a day to prevent candida infections caused by yeast. In addition, candida infection or thrush is a common side effect of steroids from asthma medications.
