A pregnant patient asks about the safety of using antihistamines for allergic rhinitis. Which response should the nurse give?
 
  1. These agents are safe during pregnancy.
  2. These agents should not be used during the first trimester.
  3. Safety has not been established during pregnancy.
  4. The agents are safe only during the third trimester.

Question 2

A patient takes an enteric-coated, long-acting antihistamine for allergic rhinitis. The patient complains, I think the medicine is too strong. I'm going to try cutting the tablets in half. Select the nurse's best response.
 
  1. Cutting tablets can be hazardous because all of the medication is released at once.
  2. Taking the tablets on an empty stomach would be a better way to reduce the symptoms.
  3. Cutting tablets will make them last twice as long without sacrificing efficacy.
  4. You should take 1 tablet every 3 days instead of 1 tablet daily.
