Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. The client reports taking the medication 30 min before the prescribed time. Taking a medication slightly earlier is unlikely to significantly affect its therapeutic efficacy.

B. The client received an influenza vaccine 1 month ago. Vaccination does not interfere with arthritis medications unless it triggers an immune response leading to disease flare-up, which is rare.

C. The client reports taking the medication with room temperature water. The temperature of the water does not impact the drug’s effectiveness.

D. The client has a history of recurring bowel inflammation. Chronic bowel inflammation (e.g., Crohn’s disease) can affect drug absorption, reducing medication effectiveness.

A. HCTZ 25mg QD B. QOD C. .1 mg D. > 180 systolic E. Amlodipine

Correct Answer is ["A","B","C","D"]

Explanation

When analyzing cues, the nurse should identify HCTZ, QD, QOD .1 mg, and >180mg systolic as error-prone abbreviations. Medications names, such as hydrochlorothiazide, should be spelled out. QD should be written as daily and QOD should be written as every other day. Decimal points should be written using a leading zero and greater than and less than should be written out rather than using symbols.
