Question 1 of 5

A nurse is providing discharge instructions to a client who has rheumatoid arthritis and a prescription for oral betamethasone. Which of the following statements should the nurse make about how to take this medication?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Take the medication with milk. Betamethasone can cause stomach irritation, so taking it with milk can help reduce this side effect. Milk coats the stomach lining, providing a protective barrier. This helps to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal upset.

A: Taking the medication with orange juice is not recommended as it can increase stomach irritation due to its acidity.
B: Taking the medication between meals may not provide the same protective effect on the stomach lining as taking it with milk.
C: Taking the medication on an empty stomach can increase the risk of gastrointestinal irritation and should be avoided.
E, F, G: These options are not relevant to the administration of betamethasone.
