2. Ibuprofen allergy, nasal congestion, and asthma
3. History of head trauma, congestive heart failure, and asthma

Rationale 2: Ibuprofen allergy, nasal congestion, and asthma are not the "aspirin triad."
Rationale 3: History of head trauma, congestive heart failure, and asthma are not the "aspirin triad."
Rationale 4: Clients who have the "aspirin triad," which includes aspirin allergy, nasal polyps, and asthma, should not be administered aspirin.
Global Rationale: The aspirin triad includes aspirin allergy, nasal polyps, and asthma. Patients who have these conditions concurrently should not receive aspirin therapy. The other conditions are not part of this triad.
