Answer 1

The correct order of administration for the inhalers is Beclovent, Atrovent, and Proventil.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct order in which the drugs will be administered is as follows:

1. beclomethasone (Beclovent): This drug is a corticosteroid and is used for long-term control of asthma. It helps prevent asthma attacks from occurring.
2. ipratropium bromide (Atrovent): This drug is a bronchodilator and helps soothe the constricted air passages, making breathing easier.
3. albuterol (Proventil): This drug is also a bronchodilator and is used for short-term relief during an asthma attack. It starts to take effect almost immediately.
