Which aspect does not contribute to poor inhaler technique?

High medication adherence does not contribute to poor inhaler technique because it reflects a patient’s commitment to using their medications as prescribed. When patients adhere to their medication regimen, it often means they are aware of their treatment needs and the significance of using inhalers properly. This consistent use can lead to increased familiarity with the device, which can enhance their technique over time.

Inhaler technique is critically important for ensuring that the medication reaches the intended site of action within the lungs. Factors such as age, unfamiliarity with the device, and inconsistent practice can lead to misunderstandings about how to properly use inhalers, which can result in ineffective delivery of medication. Therefore, while those factors are significant barriers to proper inhaler technique, adherence itself serves as a foundation for better understanding and effective use of inhalers.
