While using a nebuliser with mask do you take in mist through the mouth or nose.?

The mask usually covers both the mouth and nose so the mist will enter all airways, but it will enter primarily by whichever the patient is breathing through. If it's an emergency situation, the person will likely be gasping through their mouth. If it's a regular treatment, they should just breathe normally.
