The nurse teaches the client how to instill nose drops. Which of the following techniques is correct?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Blowing the nose gently before instilling nose drops clears the nasal passages, allowing better medication absorption. Sterile technique is not typically required for home use. Using a new dropper each time is impractical. The head should be tilted back, not forward, after administration to allow the drops to spread.
