Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, D, E
The best treatment for rebound nasal congestion caused by use of topical decongestants is prevention. Further use of the medication will exacerbate the nasal congestion. Nasal steroid solutions may help gradually reduce the congestion without exacerbating the symptoms. Nasal saline spray will bring comfort to the irritated nasal mucosa by moisturizing them. A decrease in the nasal congestion will occur gradually.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Allergic rhinitis is inflammation resulting from an allergic reaction. Following allergen exposure, and with subsequent inhalation of the allergen, an antigen-antibody reaction occurs, causing inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages. Histamine is released during the allergic reaction. Allergic rhinitis can occur during any season, depending on when the allergen is most abundant in the air. Allergic rhinitis occurs in patients who have experienced previous exposure to one or more allergens and have developed antibodies.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
