Reference no: EM133444244

Question: Mrs. MM is an intelligent 67-year-old female who takes diphenhydramine for her allergies every day. MM does not suffer from motion sickness or difficulty sleeping; she only uses the diphenhydramine for her allergies.

Since MM is an intelligent client and you believe that if you support your argument well, you will convince her to take a second-generation antihistamine like loratadine instead of the diphenhydramine, which has many more side effects.

Fully explain why MM should take Loratadine instead of Diphenhydramine, and why some clients could benefit from diphenhydramine rather than loratadine.
