Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for phenytoin. The nurse should recognize that which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. This statement indicates a need for further teaching because phenytoin is an antiepileptic medication that should not be stopped abruptly. Seizure control should be maintained by continuous medication use. Stopping the medication abruptly can lead to seizure recurrence.
Choices A, B, and D are all correct statements that demonstrate understanding of important aspects of phenytoin therapy. A dentist visit is important due to phenytoin's potential side effects on oral health. Notifying the provider before taking other medications is crucial to avoid drug interactions. Taking the medication with meals helps prevent gastrointestinal side effects.
