Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who is prescribed diphenhydramine to relieve pruritus. The client asks the nurse how he can minimize the daytime sedation he is experiencing. Which of the following responses should the nurse give?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Take most of the daily dose at bedtime. Diphenhydramine is known for causing sedation, so taking most of the dose at bedtime can help minimize daytime sedation by allowing the sedative effects to occur during sleep. This strategy can help the client feel more alert during the day. Distributing the doses evenly throughout the day (choice
A) may not be as effective in reducing daytime sedation as concentrating the dose at bedtime. Taking the medication with meals (choice
C) is not directly related to minimizing daytime sedation. Gradually decreasing the dose once tolerance is reached (choice
D) may be appropriate for long-term use but does not address the immediate concern of daytime sedation.
