The client diagnosed with RA who has been prescribed etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor alpha inhibitor, shows marked improvement. Which instruction regarding the use of this medication should the nurse teach?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Regular checkups and lab work monitor for etanercept side effects (e.g., infection). Efficacy persists, MRI is not routine, and cycling is incorrect.
