Answer to Question 1

3
Rhinitis medicamentosa can occur with overuse of decongestant nasal sprays, and it leads to rebound nasal congestion that is often worse that the original nasal congestion. The use of nasal sprays does not cause pneumonia, subacute rhinitis, or chronic otitis media.

Answer to Question 2

4
Clients recovering from a laryngectomy are unable to take nutrition orally for about 10 to 14 days. During this time the client will receive nutrition via intravenous fluids, enteral feedings through a nasogastric tube, or parenteral nutrition. Protein and fluids are not limited. The tracheostomy tube is not cleaned with soap and water.
