The nurse is caring for a client who takes methotrexate for rheumatoid arthritis and receives a prescription for adalimumab. Which instructions should the nurse provide the client?

C
Rationale
AdalimumabÔÇÖs immunosuppression increases infection risk. Avoiding crowds and sick individuals minimizes exposure. Eye exams are more relevant for methotrexate, chest x-rays are not routine, and live vaccines may be contraindicated.
