Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
An adverse effect that accompanies frequent or prolonged use of topical nasal decongestants is rebound congestion, technically called rhinitis medicamentosa. Other adverse reactions include disorientation, confusion, nausea, vomiting, fever, and dyspnea. Diarrhea, rash, and headache are not commonly associated with these drugs, however.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The drug has a rapid onset of action and rapid absorption (30 to 120 minutes when taken orally, 5 to 30 minutes when given IV).
