A client receives a new prescription for levothyroxine. Which statement made by client indicates to the nurse that education was effective?
Correct answer
D
Rationale
Levothyroxine should be taken on an empty stomach (D), 30-60 minutes before breakfast, for optimal absorption (matches 55-Q15). Bedtime dosing (A) is less effective. Iodine foods (B) donÔÇÖt enhance efficacy. Iron supplements (C) should be timed separately.
