d) "Those do not work for snoring."

Answer 1

The appropriate nursing response to the client's spouse asking about nasal breathing strips is that they may reduce or eliminate snoring.

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate nursing response when the client's spouse asks about nasal breathing strips is (c) "Nasal strips may reduce or eliminate snoring." Nasal strips are adhesive strips that are applied across the nose and work by opening up the nasal passages, allowing for improved airflow. They can be helpful in reducing or eliminating snoring by promoting nasal breathing and reducing nasal congestion. It is important to note that nasal strips are available over the counter and do not require a prescription.
