A female client with a history of peptic ulcer disease receives a prescription for misoprostol. Which information provided by the client indicates to the nurse a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
Misoprostol prevents NSAID-induced ulcers and is not tied to menstrual cycles. Starting therapy before menstruation is incorrect. Contraception, pregnancy testing, and reporting conception risks are critical due to misoprostolÔÇÖs teratogenic effects.
