After having bariatric surgery, a client being discharged tells the nurse, "I prefer to be independent. I'm not interested in joining a support group.”. Which response by the nurse is best?

Choice A rationale

Bruising is not a common side effect of sulfasalazine. Explaining the medication's potential side effects is important but unrelated to the specific administration intervention.

Choice B rationale

Ensuring the client drinks at least 2000 ml of water daily is crucial when taking sulfasalazine. This medication can cause crystalluria and kidney stones if adequate hydration is not maintained.

Choice C rationale

Sulfasalazine is typically administered multiple times a day with food to decrease gastrointestinal upset, not once a day before breakfast.

Choice D rationale

Assessing the client's stool for steatorrhea and mucus is more relevant for evaluating gastrointestinal conditions rather than the direct administration of sulfasalazine.

Choice A rationale

Assessing for hypoglycemia at 0830 is too early, as insulin aspart typically peaks between 1 to 2 hours after administration. This choice would not capture the most likely time for hypoglycemia.

Choice B rationale

Hypoglycemia is most likely to occur around 0930, which is approximately 1.5 hours after the administration of insulin aspart, as it typically peaks within this time frame, increasing the risk of low blood sugar.

Choice C rationale

1030 is beyond the peak action time of insulin aspart, making it less likely to be the time for hypoglycemia. While it is important to monitor glucose levels, the highest risk period would have passed.

Choice D rationale

1130 is significantly beyond the peak action time of insulin aspart, and the risk of hypoglycemia from this dose would have decreased by this time. Regular monitoring is still important, but the critical period is earlier.
