A nurse is providing instructions for the client with chronic rhinosinusitis. The nurse accurately tells the client:
a) Sleep with the head of bed elevated.
b) Do not perform saline irrigations to the nares.
c) You may drink 1 glass of alcohol daily.
d) Caffeinated beverages are allowed.
Answer: a) Sleep with the head of bed elevated.
Explanation:
General nursing interventions for chronic rhinosinusitis include teaching the client how to provide self-care. These measures include elevating the head of the bed to promote sinus drainage. Caffeinated beverages and alcohol may cause dehydration. Saline irrigations are used to eliminate drainage from the sinuses. pg.546
