A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for prednisone to treat rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following statements should indicate to the nurse that the client understands the teaching?

The correct answer is B: "I will report a sore throat to my provider." This statement indicates understanding because prednisone can suppress the immune system, making the client more susceptible to infections like sore throat. Reporting any signs of infection promptly is crucial. The other choices are incorrect because: A - Prednisone should be taken with food to reduce stomach irritation. C - Prednisone can cause sodium retention, so increasing sodium intake is not recommended. D - Prednisone can cause weight gain, not weight loss.
