Question 1 of 5
During the administration of finasteride, the nurse must remember which important precaution?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because finasteride is a teratogenic drug that can harm the fetus if handled by pregnant women.
Step 1: Finasteride is a pregnancy category X drug, meaning it should not be handled by pregnant women due to the risk of teratogenic effects on the fetus.
Step 2: Pregnant women or women planning to become pregnant should not handle crushed or broken finasteride tablets to avoid potential harm to the fetus.
Step 3: This precaution is crucial to prevent birth defects in the fetus. Summary:
Choices A, B, and D are incorrect as alopecia is not a common adverse effect of finasteride, it is not given by deep intramuscular injection, and it does not need to be taken on an empty stomach.
