Question 1 of 5

A patient is taking guaifenesin as part of treatment for a sinus infection. Which instruction will the nurse include during patient teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Increase fluid intake to help loosen and liquefy secretions. Guaifenesin works by increasing the volume and reducing the viscosity of respiratory tract secretions, making it easier for the patient to clear mucus. Instructing the patient to increase fluid intake ensures there is enough hydration to aid in this process.
Choice A is incorrect as guaifenesin may take a few days to show full effect, so reporting symptoms lasting longer than 2 days may not be necessary.
Choice B is incorrect because clear-colored sputum is usually normal and not a cause for concern.
Choice C is incorrect as guaifenesin is not known to cause sedation.
