Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the patient's home medication use. After listening to the patient list current medications, the nurse asks what priority question?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Do you take any over-the-counter medications? This is the priority question because over-the-counter medications can interact with prescribed medications, potentially causing adverse effects. By asking about over-the-counter medications, the nurse can assess for potential drug interactions and ensure the patient's safety.
Choice A is incorrect because the use of generic medications does not typically impact drug interactions.
Choice B is incorrect as orphan drugs are not directly relevant to assessing medication safety.
Choice C is incorrect as it is specific to pregnancy and may not be immediately relevant to the patient.
