Question 1 of 5
The nurse is assessing the medication record of a newly admitted client. Which of the following medications directly interacts with oxymetazoline (Afrin)?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs). Oxymetazoline is a nasal decongestant that can cause a dangerous interaction when taken with MAOIs, leading to an increase in blood pressure or hypertensive crisis. MAOIs inhibit the breakdown of certain neurotransmitters, including norepinephrine, which can enhance the effects of oxymetazoline.
Choices A, B, and D do not directly interact with oxymetazoline and would not cause the same adverse effects.
