Answer to Question 1

C
Exploring past history with the client is most helpful in determining the nature of the nasal con-dition.
Overuse of over-the-counter nasal sprays can cause damage to nasal mucosa and then original symptoms can recur (rebound).
Snoring and breathing difficulties may be caused by nasal obstruction.
Allergies may cause nasal congestion, but do not cause nosebleeds.

Answer to Question 2

C

Feedback
