A client is prescribed ethinyl estradiol and drospirenone (Yasmin) to prevent pregnancy.
The client missed three days of her medication.
What is an appropriate client education for this client?

Choice A rationale

Gemfibrozil is a fibrate that reduces triglycerides and increases HDL cholesterol, commonly used to treat hyperlipidemia.

Choice B rationale

Simvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, reducing LDL cholesterol levels and is used in managing hyperlipidemia.

Choice C rationale

Enalapril is an ACE inhibitor used to manage hypertension and heart failure, not typically used for hyperlipidemia.

Choice D rationale

Warfarin is an anticoagulant used to prevent blood clots and is not used for treating hyperlipidemia.

Choice E rationale

Fenofibrate is another fibrate like gemfibrozil, used to reduce triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol, making it an anti-lipemic medication.

Choice A rationale

Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic that acts on the collecting ducts and late distal tubules but not on the loop of Henle.

Choice B rationale

Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that works on the distal convoluted tubule, not the loop of Henle.

Choice C rationale

Furosemide is a loop diuretic that acts on the ascending limb of the loop of Henle to inhibit sodium and chloride reabsorption, leading to increased urine output.

Choice D rationale

Mannitol is an osmotic diuretic that primarily acts on the proximal tubule and the descending limb of the loop of Henle.
