Question 1 of 5

A nurse is conducting discharge teaching for a patient who has seizures and a new prescription for phenytoin. Which statements by the patient indicate a need for further teaching? Which statement indicates a need for phenytoin teaching?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: "I'll be glad when I can stop taking this medicine." This statement indicates a need for further teaching because phenytoin is typically a lifelong medication for managing seizures. Stopping it abruptly can lead to serious consequences such as increased risk of seizures.
Therefore, the patient should be educated on the importance of adhering to the prescribed regimen.


Choice A is correct because it emphasizes the importance of not switching brands of phenytoin, as different formulations may have varying levels of the active ingredient.
Choice B is important for overall health but not directly related to phenytoin teaching.
Choice C is also crucial as phenytoin can interact with other medications, so notifying the doctor is necessary.

In summary, choice D is incorrect because discontinuing phenytoin without medical supervision can be harmful.

Choices A, B, and C are correct as they address important aspects of managing phenytoin therapy.
