Question 1 of 5

A nurse is teaching a client about taking diphenhydramine. The nurse should explain to the client that which of the following is an adverse effect of this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Sedation. Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that commonly causes sedation as a side effect due to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and affect the central nervous system. This sedative effect can cause drowsiness and impair alertness. Hypertension (
A), constipation (
B), and bradycardia (
C) are not typically associated with diphenhydramine use. Sedation is the most common adverse effect due to its anticholinergic properties, which can lead to drowsiness and sedation.
Therefore, the nurse should emphasize this potential side effect to the client when educating about diphenhydramine.
