Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching a client who has rheumatoid arthritis about taking methotrexate. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Increasing water intake helps to prevent kidney damage and maintain proper hydration levels. The other choices are incorrect because rinsing with an alcohol-based mouthwash can irritate the mouth and cause dryness (
A), taking methotrexate with an NSAID can increase the risk of side effects and interactions (
B), and taking an antiemetic 1 hour following administration does not address the hydration needs of the client (
C).
