Before administering the nasal spray, the client should blow their nose to clear the nasal passage. They should then use a finger to occlude the nostril that is not receiving the spray to ensure the medication is delivered to the correct nostril. The client should inhale gently and evenly while discharging the spray into the nostril. It is not necessary to tilt the head back and angle the tip of the bottle to the side of the nostril. If a second spray is recommended, the client should wait before repeating the procedure. The client does not need to blow their nose after the administration of the spray.
