Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Do not drink beverages while sucking on a nicotine lozenge. This instruction is important because drinking beverages while sucking on the lozenge can decrease the absorption of nicotine, reducing its effectiveness in helping the client quit smoking. Nicotine lozenges should be used by allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth, without chewing or swallowing. This allows the nicotine to be absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth, providing a controlled release of nicotine to help manage withdrawal symptoms.

B: Chewing nicotine gum for 10 min before spitting it out is incorrect as nicotine gum should be chewed slowly until a tingling sensation occurs, then parked between the cheek and gums until the tingling disappears.

C: Changing the nicotine patch every other day is incorrect as nicotine patches should typically be changed daily to maintain a steady level of nicotine in the body.

D: Administering 2 sprays of nicotine nasal spray in each nostril with each dose is incorrect
