Question 1 of 5

A nurse is caring for a client who has osteoporosis and a new prescription for alendronate. Which of the following should the nurse assess prior to initiating therapy?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Pregnancy status. Alendronate is contraindicated during pregnancy as it can harm the fetus. Assessing pregnancy status before initiating therapy is crucial to ensure the safety of the client and the unborn child. Checking CBC results (choice
A) is not directly related to alendronate therapy for osteoporosis. Family history of colon cancer (choice
B) and thyroid function (choice
C) are not immediate concerns when starting alendronate.
Therefore, they do not take priority over pregnancy status.
