Question 1 of 5
A nurse is taking a medication history from a client who has a new prescription for levothyroxine. The nurse should instruct the client to wait 4 hr after taking levothyroxine before taking which of the following supplements?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Calcium. Levothyroxine can bind to calcium, reducing its absorption. Instructing the client to wait 4 hours after taking levothyroxine before taking calcium ensures optimal absorption of both medications. Zinc (
A), Vitamin C (
B), and Ginkgo biloba (
C) do not have significant interactions with levothyroxine that would require specific timing. Waiting 4 hours before taking calcium is crucial to prevent any interference with levothyroxine absorption.
