Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a prescription for alendronate. Which of the following statements by the client indicates an understanding of the teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: "I will take this medication right before I go to bed." Alendronate should be taken on an empty stomach, in the morning, at least 30 minutes before the first food, drink, or medication of the day. Taking it before bed ensures the client has an empty stomach.
Choice A is incorrect because orange juice can interfere with alendronate absorption.
Choice B is incorrect as sitting upright for 30 minutes after taking the medication is the recommended action.
Choice D is incorrect as alendronate is typically taken weekly, not monthly.
