During a checkup, a 22-year-old woman tells the nurse
practitioner that she regularly uses an over-the-counter
decongestant nasal spray for the last few months because of
her allergies. She also states that it does not work as well as it
used to when she first started using it. The best response by
the nurse practitioner would be:
1) “You should never use over-the-counter nasal sprays because of the risk of addiction.”
2) “You should try switching to another brand of medication to prevent this problem.”
3) “Continuing to use this spray is important to keep your allergies under control.”
4) “Using these nasal medications irritates the lining of the nose and may cause rebound swelling.”
