Assist the patient to a supine position and position the head properly to
facilitate access to the nasal passages§ Instruct the patient to breathe through
the mouth, which reduces the chance of aspirating nasal drops into the trachea
and lungs.
§ Hold the dropper 1 cm above the nares to avoid contamination of the dropper.
Instill the prescribed number of drops toward the midline of the ethmoid bone to
facilitate the distribution of medication over the nasal mucosa.
§ Have the patient remain in a supine position for 5 minutes to prevent
premature loss of medication through the nares.
§ Offer a facial tissue to blot a runny nose, but caution the patient against
blowing the nose for several minutes.
o Assist the patient to a comfortable high Fowler's position or a sitting position.
o Administer the nasal spray with the patient's head upright. Tipping the
opening of the nasal spray container downward will cause the medication
to be administered in a stream, not a spray, and will deliver more medication
than the prescribed order.
