Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Application of pressure to the inner corner of the eye prevents the medication from entering the canal, where it would be absorbed in the vascular mucosa of the nose and produce systemic effects. Application of pressure to the inner corner of the eye does not decrease infection, maintain intraocular pressure, or promote patient comfort.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The sitting position allows for maximum lung expansion. Shaking the inhaler helps to disperse the medication. The mouth needs to be rinsed after the inhalation of a corticosteroid. Holding the breath then exhaling slowly allows the drug to settle into pulmonary tissue.
