Question 1 of 5
A gardener needs a decongestant because of seasonal allergy problems and asks the nurse whether he should take an oral form or a nasal spray. Which of these is a benefit of orally administered decongestants?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Absence of rebound congestion. Orally administered decongestants have a lower risk of causing rebound congestion compared to nasal sprays. This is because oral decongestants have a systemic effect, acting on the body as a whole, which helps avoid localized nasal tissue irritation that can lead to rebound congestion. Immediate onset (
A) is more associated with nasal sprays due to direct application to the nasal passages. Shorter duration (
C) and more potent effect (
D) are not necessarily benefits of orally administered decongestants.
