The nurse teaches the client about the difference between oral and nasal decongestants. The nurse evaluates that learning has been effective when the client makes which statement?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Oral decongestants (e.g., pseudoephedrine) act systemically, raising blood pressure via vasoconstriction, a key difference from nasal decongestants (e.g., oxymetazoline), which act locally but risk rebound congestion. The statement 'Oral decongestants can cause hypertension' shows the client grasps this systemic effect, indicating effective teaching. Nasal decongestants aren't safe for a month ; they cause rebound after 3-5 days. Only nasal decongestants typically cause rebound , not oral. Oral efficacy varies, not inherently superior. Choice A reflects accurate understanding of oral decongestants' broader impact, critical for safe use, making it the best learning indicator.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Methotrexate, a DMARD, treats RA but risks renal toxicity from crystal formation. Drinking plenty of water ensures excretion, reducing this risk, a critical teaching point. Milk doesn't help'absorption is unaffected. Green leafy vegetables increase folate, which methotrexate depletes, but supplementation is controlled. Stopping if better risks flare-ups. Hydration aligns with methotrexate's pharmacokinetics, vital in RA where long-term safety matters, making A the priority to emphasize for renal protection.
