Correct answer: BUse the same inhaler for regular doses and symptom relief as prescribed

MART uses an ICS/formoterol inhaler for both maintenance and reliever dosing according to the prescribed plan. This makes use the same inhaler for regular doses and symptom relief as prescribed the single best answer in this scenario. The other options would either miss the key safety issue, delay appropriate review, or fail to meet the relevant clinical or professional requirement.
