Answer to Question 1

C, D
Feedback:
Over-the-counter (OTC) cold remedies should not be used longer than 1 week. Do not use nose drops or sprays more often or longer than recommended. Excessive or prolonged use may damage nasal mucosa and produce chronic nasal congestion. These drugs are not associated with chronic epistaxis, anticholinergic effects, or hepatotoxicity.

Answer to Question 2

A
