Ans: C
Feedback:
The nurse should use the expectorant drugs with caution in clients with persistent cough. The nurse should use antitussives with caution in clients with persistent headache. The nurse needs to use opioid antitussives cautiously in clients with renal impairment and seizure disorders.
