Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a client currently taking oxymetazoline. Which of the following statements should the nurse include regarding oxymetazoline?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Limit use of the drug to 3 days to prevent rebound nasal congestion. Oxymetazoline is a nasal decongestant that should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days to avoid rebound congestion. Prolonged use can lead to worsening symptoms.
Choice B is incorrect as oxymetazoline typically does not cause drowsiness; it is a nasal decongestant, not a sedative.
Choice C is incorrect because oxymetazoline provides quick relief within minutes, not days.
Choice D is incorrect as oxymetazoline is not used for asthma but for nasal congestion.
