The nurse should teach the client to use the medication at the first sign of a migraine and that overusing the medication may result in rebound headaches. The nurse should also instruct the client to instill the spray into one nostril only to ensure proper absorption. The nurse should not advise the client to increase dietary intake of tyramine-containing foods, as these foods can trigger migraines. Additionally, pain relief with this medication typically begins within 15-30 minutes, not up to an hour, so E is an incorrect option.
