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 increase the risk of kidney stones, so it is important to stay well-hydrated to help prevent this complication. Increasing fluid intake helps to maintain urine output and prevent the build-up of uric acid crystals in the kidneys.
Therefore, this instruction is crucial in managing potential side effects of allopurinol.

Explanation for Incorrect

Choices:
A: Expecting to experience a harmless rash while taking allopurinol is not a correct instruction. While rash is a common side effect of allopurinol, it should be reported to the healthcare provider.
C: Increasing dietary fiber intake to prevent constipation is not directly related to allopurinol therapy.
D: Taking one dose every hour until the pain subsides is not a correct instruction and can lead to overdose or other serious complications.
