Question 1 of 5
A nurse is providing teaching to a client who has a new prescription for allopurinol to treat gout. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Increase your fluid intake. Allopurinol can cause kidney stones as a side effect, and increasing fluid intake can help prevent this complication by promoting urine production and flushing out uric acid crystals. Option A is incorrect as a rash from allopurinol is not harmless and should be reported to the healthcare provider. Option C is irrelevant to allopurinol therapy. Option D is incorrect as taking multiple doses of allopurinol in a short period is not safe and can lead to overdose.
