Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Bland aerosols are therefore more properly considered expectorants rather than mucolytic agents.

Other side effects that can occur include the following:

 Increased concentration and toxicity of nebulizer solution toward end of treatment
 Nausea and rhinorrhea
 Stomatitis
