Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a female client who has rheumatoid arthritis and a new prescription for methotrexate. The client tells the nurse she is planning a pregnancy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Methotrexate should be discontinued at least 3 months prior to a planned pregnancy to ensure it is cleared from the body, as it can cause serious birth defects. Reducing the dosage is not safe, as methotrexate is contraindicated in pregnancy. Dietary modifications are not the primary concern, and breastfeeding is not recommended due to potential harm to the infant.
