The nurse is discharging a client with asthma who has a prescription for zafirlukast (Accolate). Which comment by the client would indicate a need for further teaching?

Zafirlukast should be taken on an empty stomach for better absorption. The other statements are correct: flulike symptoms and liver monitoring are relevant, and zafirlukast is not a rescue medication.
