Question

20 multiple choice 1 point what can a first aid provider do for a person who is having trouble breathing and is trying to use his or her inhaler? have the person stand up. as the person breathes in, depress the inhaler. never give a second dose. have the person hyperventilate (take fast and shallow breaths).

Explanation:

When a person is having trouble breathing and using an inhaler, having them stand up may not be helpful as they may be more comfortable in a seated position. Hyperventilating (taking fast and shallow breaths) is not a correct first - aid measure. Also, it is not always the case that a second dose should never be given (it depends on the specific situation and medical advice). However, as the person breathes in, depressing the inhaler is a correct step in using the inhaler properly to get the medication into the lungs.

Answer:

As the person breathes in, depress the inhaler.
