A patient has been using an intranasal sympathomimetic for allergic rhinitis for 10 days. While reducing the medication, the patient notices increased stuffiness. Select the nurse's best response.
 
  a. Restart the nasal spray and continue it indefinitely, because you have chronic rhinitis.
  b. Do not restart the spray. You will need systemic glucocorticoids to relieve the symptoms.
  c. Discontinue drug use in one nostril at a time to reduce this rebound congestion.
  d. These agents were inappropriate for use in your condition, and you should never use them again.
