Final answer:

The nurse should prioritize assessing hoarseness or change in voice, the mouth for fungal infection signs, and blood glucose levels prior to administering Beconase nasal spray.


Explanation:

Assessment priority:

  1. Assess hoarseness or change in voice: Beclomethasone can lead to hoarseness as a side effect.
  2. Assess the mouth for any sign of fungal infection: Beclomethasone can increase the risk of fungal infections in the mouth.
  3. Test the blood glucose prior to administration of nasal spray: Corticosteroids can affect blood glucose levels, so monitoring is crucial for patients with diabetes.
