Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has poison ivy and is prescribed diphenhydramine. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give regarding the adverse effect of dry mouth associated with diphenhydramine?

A. Administer the medication with food. B. Discontinue the medication and notify your provider. C. Place a humidifier at your bedside every evening. D. Chew on sugarless gum or suck on hard, sour candies.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale:
Rationale: Dry mouth is a common adverse effect of diphenhydramine due to its anticholinergic properties. Option D is correct because chewing sugarless gum or sucking on hard, sour candies can stimulate saliva production, alleviating dry mouth. Option A is incorrect as administering with food does not directly address dry mouth. Option B is incorrect as discontinuing medication without consulting the provider is not recommended. Option C is incorrect as using a humidifier does not specifically target dry mouth.
