The community nurse explains to a group of clients that taking combination drugs for a cold can be d

The community nurse explains to a group of clients that taking combination drugs for a cold can be dangerous and cites several examples, such as:

1. an older male taking a cold medication with chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine (Actifed Cold and Allergy) for congestion.
2. a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) taking a cold medication containing triprolidine and pseudoephedrine (Actifed Plus) for seasonal allergies.
3. a client with liver disease taking a medication containing diphenhydramine and acetaminophen (Tylenol PM).
4. a young adult with sinusitis taking a medication containing chlorpheniramine and phenylephrine (Sudafed Sinus and Allergy).
5. a middle-aged client with a cough taking a medication containing diphenhydramine and phenylephrine (Benadryl Allergy and Cold caplets).
