Question 1 of 5
A nurse is assessing the patient's home medication use. After listening to the patient's list of current medications, the nurse asks what priority query?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: "Do you take over-the-counter medication?" This is the priority query because over-the-counter medications may interact with prescription drugs, leading to adverse effects. It is crucial for the nurse to assess all medications the patient is taking, including over-the-counter ones, to ensure safety and effectiveness of the overall treatment plan.
Choice A is incorrect because whether the medications are generic or brand name does not directly impact safety or interactions.
Choice C is incorrect as it assumes pregnancy, which may not be relevant to the patient.
Choice D is incorrect as orphan drugs are not commonly used and not a priority in this context.
