Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has pancreatitis and a new prescription for pancrelipase. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: "I will take this medication whole." This is correct because pancrelipase should be taken whole to ensure the proper release of enzymes in the small intestine for digestion. Option B is incorrect because pancrelipase does not cure pancreatitis but helps with digestion. Option C is incorrect because fatty stools are expected side effects of pancrelipase and not a reason to discontinue the medication. Option D is incorrect because pancrelipase should be taken with meals or snacks, not specifically at bedtime.
