A client receives a prescription for allopurinol. Which information provided by the client requires additional instruction by the nurse?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Doubling a missed allopurinol dose risks toxicity and is incorrect; clients should take it as soon as remembered or skip it if near the next dose. Reducing caffeine/alcohol, taking with food, and hydration are appropriate to manage uric acid and GI effects.
