A client is in the family practice clinic reporting a severe cold that started 4 days ago. On examination the nurse notes that the client also has a severe headache and muscle aches. What action by the nurse is best?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Teach the client to sneeze in the upper sleeve. This action is best because the client is showing symptoms of a cold, which is typically caused by a virus spread through respiratory droplets. Instructing the client to sneeze in the upper sleeve can help prevent the spread of the virus to others. Choice A is incorrect because oseltamivir is used to treat influenza, not the common cold. Choice B is unnecessary as hospital admission is not typically warranted for a cold. Choice C is also incorrect as the client is already sick and a flu vaccine would not be effective at this point in time.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A. Humidifying oxygen reduces nasal dryness and irritation caused by high-flow oxygen through a nasal cannula. Using a face mask (B) might help but is less practical for long-term use. Providing an extra pillow (C) or sitting up in a chair (D) does not address the nasal discomfort directly.
