Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Drowsiness is a common adverse effect of antihistamines. The client should develop a tolerance to this effect within a few doses.
Rationale 2: Antihistamines would dry the nasal secretions, not increase them.
Rationale 3: Sodium intake is not related to antihistamines.
Rationale 4: Pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) is commonly used with antihistamines.
