Question 1 of 5

A pregnant patient asks the nurse if she can take antihistamines for seasonal allergies during her pregnancy. What will the nurse tell the patient?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Second-generation antihistamines are safer than first-generation antihistamines. Second-generation antihistamines, such as loratadine and cetirizine, are preferred in pregnancy due to their lower risk of causing sedation and adverse effects compared to first-generation antihistamines like diphenhydramine. They have been studied more extensively in pregnant women and have a better safety profile.
Choice A is incorrect because the safety of antihistamines in pregnancy is not completely understood.
Choice C is incorrect as some antihistamines are safe during pregnancy, not just when breastfeeding.
Choice D is incorrect as antihistamines are generally safe in pregnancy, but caution is advised in the third trimester.
