Question

which medication would help the client sleep and treat the allergic symptoms of a client who reports disturbed sleep due to allergic pruritus?
cetirizine
fexofenadine
desloratadine
chlorpheniramine

Explanation:

Chlorpheniramine is a first - generation anti - histamine. First - generation anti - histamines have sedative effects which can help with sleep. They also block histamine receptors to relieve allergic pruritus. Cetirizine, fexofenadine, and desloratadine are second - generation anti - histamines. Second - generation anti - histamines are less sedating compared to first - generation ones.

Answer:

Chlorpheniramine
