Question 1 of 5
A nurse is teaching an adolescent about medication therapy with oral acetylcysteine. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: This medication has a very unusual odor. Acetylcysteine has a distinctive rotten egg smell. This information is important for the adolescent to be aware of so they are not surprised or alarmed by the odor when taking the medication. Monitoring serum electrolyte levels (
A) is not typically necessary with oral acetylcysteine. Avoiding eggs (
B) is not necessary unless the individual has an allergy to eggs. Dry mouth (
