A nurse is providing teaching for a client who has binge-eating disorder and is morbidly obese. The client has been prescribed orlistat. Which of the following statements indicates to the nurse that the client understands the teaching?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Orlistat blocks dietary fat absorption, not appetite. A no-fat diet is unnecessary, as moderate fat reduction suffices. Dark urine may indicate liver issues, a serious side effect, requiring immediate medical attention. Orlistat should be taken with or after meals, not before breakfast.
