Correct Answer is C

Explanation

The correct answer is C. "I should stay upright for at least 15 minutes after taking this medication."

Choice A rationale:

Black stools are a common side effect of iron supplements and do not usually require notification of the provider unless accompanied by other symptoms such as pain or gastrointestinal bleeding.

Choice B rationale:

Iron supplements should not be taken with milk because calcium can interfere with the absorption of iron, reducing its effectiveness.

Choice C rationale:

Staying upright for at least 15 minutes after taking ferrous gluconate helps prevent the risk of esophageal irritation or discomfort, which indicates the client's correct understanding of this key instruction.

Choice D rationale:

Taking an antacid with ferrous gluconate is not recommended because antacids can interfere with the absorption of iron, reducing its efficacy.

Choice E rationale:

This is the same as Choice D and also incorrect for the same reason regarding the interaction between antacids and iron absorption.

A. Review the adverse effects of the medication with the client. B. Compare the current and newly prescribed medications and note any discrepancies. C. Send a list of the prescribed medications to the client's pharmacy. D. Include the medications the client received during surgery on the client's medication list.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Compare the current and newly prescribed medications and note any discrepancies.

During medication reconciliation, the nurse should compare the client’s current medication orders with the medications that the client has been taking and note any discrepancies.

Choice A is wrong because Reviewing the adverse effects of the medication with the client, is not part of medication reconciliation.

Choice C is wrong because Sending a list of the prescribed medications to the client’s pharmacy, is not part of medication reconciliation.

Choice D is wrong because Including the medications the client received during surgery on the client’s medication list, is not part of medication reconciliation.
