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 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 nasal decongestant that works by constricting blood vessels in the nasal passages, which reduces swelling and congestion. Prolonged use of nasal decongestants like oxymetazoline can lead to a rebound effect, causing nasal congestion to worsen once the medication is stopped. Sedation (choice
A), constipation (choice
B), and productive cough (choice
C) are not commonly associated with oxymetazoline use. Monitoring for worsening nasal congestion is crucial to prevent rebound congestion in clients using oxymetazoline long-term.
