Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Risedronate, a bisphosphonate, requires administration with water on an empty stomach to ensure absorption, as calcium in milk binds to the drug, reducing efficacy. Instructing the client to take it with water only is critical. Delaying or taking with food/milk is incorrect and reduces effectiveness.
