Answer to Question 1

1, 3
Strategies to reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis include removing home carpeting and removing pets from the home. The client should be instructed to use an air conditioner, keep windows closed during allergy season, avoid feather pillows, and wash bed linens in hot water.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 4
For the steps to be correct, the head should be slightly forward, the second spray should be given 15 to 20 seconds after the spray, and the client should not blow the nose after the administration of the spray. The client should be instructed to blow the nose before instilling the spray, to use a finger to occlude the nostril that is not receiving the spray, and to gently inhale while the spray is being delivered into the nostril.
