A) Ptyalism is excessive, often bitter salivation that can occur during pregnancy. Appropriate interventions for this client include using astringent mouthwashes, chewing gum, or sucking on hard candy. A cool-mist vaporizer and avoiding nasal sprays and decongestants are appropriate interventions for nasal stuffiness and nosebleed (epistaxis). The use of low-sodium antacids is appropriate for pyrosis, or heartburn.
