The mother of a child with cystic fibrosis calls the triage nurse and asks which type of antihistamine would be the most beneficial for her son's head cold. The nurse should:
 
  1. Recommend Benadryl for her son.
   2. Discourage the use of antihistamines because the drug can dry out the mucous and make it harder to expel.
   3. Encourage the mother to give the child a dose of the antihistamine every four hours.
   3. Recommend any over-the-counter antihistamine that states it is a pediatric formula.
