A client has a new prescription for fluticasone (Flonase). Which of the following is a therapeutic use for this medication?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
The correct answer is D because Fluticasone (Flonase) is a nasal corticosteroid used to reduce allergy symptoms like sneezing, nasal itching, and runny nose by decreasing inflammation in the nasal passages. It is not used for anaphylaxis (A), insomnia (B), or motion sickness (C) as these conditions are not related to its mechanism of action. Fluticasone works locally in the nasal passages and is not intended for systemic allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. It does not affect sleep patterns or treat motion sickness. Therefore, the therapeutic use of Flonase is specifically for managing allergic rhinitis symptoms.
