Patient was educated on the process to maintain a nebulizer as follows:
- Nebulizer parts are detached and cleaned after every single use.
- The nebulizer cup and mouthpiece are cleansed using mild soap and warm water and rinse with water.
- The extra water is shaken off.
- The parts can either be air dried or the nebulizer parts could be assembled back and the air compressor turned on, which can help the parts dry quickly.
- The oxygen tubing is difficult to be cleansed and so, is replaced every 2 weeks.
