Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who has osteoporosis and a new prescription for raloxifene. Which of the following should the nurse assess prior to initiating therapy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pregnancy status. Raloxifene is contraindicated in pregnancy due to its potential harm to the fetus. The nurse should assess the client's pregnancy status prior to initiating therapy to ensure the safety of the client and the unborn child. Assessing CBC results (choice
A), family history of colon cancer (choice
B), and thyroid function (choice
C) are not directly related to the initiation of raloxifene therapy for osteoporosis.
Therefore, they are not the priority assessments in this situation.
