Question 1 of 5

A nurse is educating a client with a new prescription of alendronate (Fosamax) for osteoporosis. Which of the following statements should the nurse include in her patient's education about this medication?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct statement is C: After taking this medication, you should sit up or ambulate for at least 30 minutes. Alendronate (Fosamax) is a bisphosphonate used to treat osteoporosis by increasing bone mass. The recommendation to sit up or walk for at least 30 minutes after taking the medication helps prevent esophageal irritation, which can occur if the medication is not properly swallowed and reaches the esophagus.

Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because lying down flat for 30 hours, taking the medication before bed after a large meal, and chewing the medication after breakfast are not recommended with alendronate as they can increase the risk of esophageal irritation and decrease absorption.
