Question 1 of 5
A nurse is performing discharge teaching for a client who has seizures and a new prescription for phenytoin. Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A. This statement indicates a need for further teaching because phenytoin is an antiepileptic drug that should not be abruptly stopped as it can lead to seizure recurrence or withdrawal symptoms. The client needs to understand the importance of consistent medication adherence to control seizures.
Choice B is incorrect because it shows the client's understanding of the importance of consulting the doctor before taking any other medications that may interact with phenytoin.
Choice C is incorrect as it demonstrates the client's awareness of the need to see the dentist, as phenytoin can cause gum overgrowth.
Choice D is incorrect as it reflects the client's understanding that switching brands of phenytoin can result in variations in drug absorption.
