Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Chew on sugarless gum or suck on hard candies. Diphenhydramine commonly causes dry mouth as a side effect due to its anticholinergic properties. Chewing on sugarless gum or sucking on hard candies stimulates saliva production, helping to alleviate dry mouth. Administering the medication with food (choice
A) is not directly related to treating dry mouth. Placing a humidifier at the bedside (choice
C) may help with dry throat but not specifically dry mouth caused by diphenhydramine. Discontinuing the medication (choice
D) without consulting the provider is not recommended as it may lead to worsening symptoms or potential withdrawal effects.
