A medication nurse is supervising a newly hired nurse who is administering pyridostigmine orally to a client diagnosed with myasthenia gravis. Which instruction provided to the client indicates safe practice by the newly hired nurse regarding the administration of this medication?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Myasthenia gravis can affect the client's ability to swallow. The primary assessment is to determine the client's ability to swallow. In this situation, there is no reason for the client to lie down to swallow medication or hyperextend the neck. Additionally, lying down could place the client at risk for aspiration. There is no specific reason for the client to void before taking the medication.

The client is not allowed to eat or drink usually for 6 to 8 hours (or as specified by the primary health care provider) before the procedure to prevent the risk of aspiration.
