Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has been taking oxymetazoline (Afrin) nasal spray for the past 10 days for allergic rhinitis. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following manifestations as an adverse effect of this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Nasal congestion. Oxymetazoline is a decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages to alleviate congestion. Prolonged use can lead to rebound congestion, where the nasal passages become even more congested when the medication wears off. Sedation (
A), constipation (
B), and productive cough (
C) are not typical adverse effects of oxymetazoline. Sedation is more commonly associated with antihistamines, constipation with some opioids, and productive cough is not a known side effect of oxymetazoline.
Therefore, monitoring for increased nasal congestion is crucial to assess for rebound effects and ensure proper management of the client's symptoms.
