Question 1 of 5
Cholestyramine is prescribed, and the nurse provides instructions to the client about the medication. Which client statement indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Common side effects of cholestyramine include constipation, nausea, indigestion, and flatulence.
Therefore, it is not necessary to contact the primary health care provider immediately if constipation occurs. Cholestyramine must be administered with food to be effective. This medication should not be taken dry, and it can be mixed in water, juice, carbonated beverages, applesauce, or soup. Increasing fluids will minimize the constipating effects of the medication.
