Answer to Question 1

4
Fexofenadine (Allegra) is a second-generation antihistamine, and second-generation antihistamines exhibit less sedation than first-generation medications such as diphenhydramine, chlorpheniramine maleate, and clemastine.

Answer to Question 2

3
Occupational allergic rhinitis occurs from airborne substances in the workplace. Seasonal allergic rhinitis occurs during a specific time of the year. Perennial allergic rhinitis occurs in response to exposure to environmental allergens that can occur throughout the year. Infectious rhinitis is a nonallergic type of rhinitis.
