What potential risk is associated with poor technique when using LAMAs?

The correct answer highlights the significant risk of glaucoma that can arise from incorrect usage of Long-Acting Muscarinic Antagonists (LAMAs). LAMAs are often administered via inhalers, and improper technique can lead to the medication being deposited in unintended areas, such as the eyes. If the medication inadvertently reaches the ocular surface, it can lead to increased intraocular pressure, which is a primary risk factor for glaucoma.

While the other options may represent concerns associated with inhalation therapies or other medications, they do not specifically connect with the risks presented by LAMAs in the context of use. For instance, increased heart rate may be seen with other bronchodilators but is less relevant for LAMAs. Infection risk might arise from equipment misuse, but it is not a direct consequence of poor inhaler technique for this medication class. Shortness of breath could potentially be a result of an improper inhalation technique as well, but it does not carry the same long-term implications related to eye health as the risk of glaucoma does. Thus, the focus on glaucoma aligns directly with the consequences of poor inhalation technique when using LAMAs.
