1. They should not be taken together.
2. The order of administration doesn't matter.
3. Take Salumetrol first.
4. Take Albuterol first.
Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The Albuterol should be taken first.
Rationale 2: Albuterol is a bronchodilator, and should be used before the anti-inflammatory drug Salumetrol. The bronchioles should be opened, in order for the action of the anti-inflammatory drug to be most effective.
Rationale 3: Albuterol is a bronchodilator, and should be used before the anti-inflammatory drug Salumetrol.
Rationale 4: Albuterol is a bronchodilator, and should be used before the anti-inflammatory drug Salumetrol. The bronchioles should be opened, in order for the action of the anti-inflammatory drug to be most effective.
Global Rationale: Albuterol is a bronchodilator, and should be used before the anti-inflammatory drug Salumetrol. The bronchioles should be opened, in order for the action of the anti-inflammatory drug to be most effective. The medications should not be taken together. The order of administration does matter.
