Question 1 of 5
A client has been prescribed a clonidine patch, and the nurse has instructed the client regarding the use of the patch. Which client statement indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The clonidine patch should not be trimmed because it will alter the medication dose. If it becomes slightly loose, it should be covered with an adhesive overlay from the medication package. If it becomes very loose or falls off, it should be replaced. It is changed every 7 days, and is left in place when bathing or showering. The clonidine patch should be applied to a hairless site on the torso or the upper arm. The patch is discarded by folding it in half with the adhesive sides together.
