A client asks the nurse why the physician prescribed an oral rather than an intranasal decongestant. The nurse responds:


1. “Intranasal decongestants can worsen congestion once the effects of the drug wear off.”
2. “You will need medication for the length of the allergy season, but intranasal decongestants shouldn’t be taken for longer than 5 days.”
3. “Oral decongestants take less time to alleviate symptoms.”
4. “Oral decongestants are more effective at relieving severe congestion.”
5. “Oral decongestants carry a lower risk of systemic adverse effects.”
