Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for modafinil for narcolepsy. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Monitoring for chest pain or palpitations is critical with modafinil, a stimulant used for narcolepsy, as it can cause cardiovascular side effects like tachycardia or hypertension.
Choice A is correct but not the priority; modafinil is typically taken in the morning to promote wakefulness, but safety monitoring is more critical.
Choice C is incorrect because modafinil is more likely to cause weight loss, not weight gain, due to its stimulant effects.
Choice D is incorrect because modafinil can be taken with or without food; a high-fat meal may delay absorption but is not necessary.
