Equipment
■ Medication drops, spray, or aerosol.
■ Tissues.
Assessment
■ Check for nasal obstruction and congestion.
■ Assess nasal discharge for color, consistency, and odor. Note the color of nasal drainage.
■ Assess nasal mucous membranes for redness, color, moisture, excoriation, or trauma. Post-Procedure Reassessment
■ Assess for symptom relief 15 to 20 minutes after administration.
Key Points
■ Determine head position: Consider the indication for the medication and the patient’s ability to assume the position.
■ Explain to the patient that the medication may cause some burning, tingling, or unusual taste.
■ Position the patient with the head down and forward (for sprays) or supine with the head back (for drops).
■ Place the tip of the sprayer into the nostril, pointing the tip toward the outside of the nose (toward the outside corner of the right eye).
■ Be Safe! Never point the tip toward the middle of the nose (the septum) or straight up (toward the sinus).
■ Have the patient blow his nose, occlude one nostril, and exhale.
■ Squirt the spray into the nose while the patient inhales through his other nostril. Repeat for the other nostril.
Documentation
■ Record:
■ Premedication assessment.
■ Type and amount of solution administered, route.
■ Any patient discomfort during the procedure.
■ Patient’s report of response to the medication, (e.g., nasal discharge, obstruction, bleeding, or other complication).

My husband was diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD) four years ago. For over two years, we relied on prescription medications and therapies, but unfortunately, his symptoms continued to worsen. His memory,coordination, and overall strength declined, and everyday life became increasingly difficult.Last year, out of desperation and hope, we decided to try an herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months of starting the treatment, we began to notice real changes. His alertness improved, his movements became steadier, and he regained a surprising amount of energy and clarity.
Incredibly, he also regained much of his independence and confidence. It’s been a life-changing experience he feels more like himself again, better than he had in years.If you or a loved one is struggling with CJD, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
