Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has pernicious anemia to self-administer nasal cyanocobalamin. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Administer the medication into one nostril once per week. Nasal cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12 that is administered intranasally to treat pernicious anemia. Weekly administration into one nostril is the recommended dosage regimen. This frequency ensures adequate absorption of the medication. Option A is incorrect because the duration of self-administration would depend on the individual's condition and response to treatment, not a fixed 6 months. Option C is incorrect as there is no need to lie down after administering the medication. Option D is incorrect because using a nasal decongestant is unnecessary and not recommended unless specifically instructed by a healthcare provider.
