A nurse is preparing to teach a client about a newly prescribed drug. Prior to providing teaching, the nurse should review the precautions section of a drug handbook for which of the following reasons?

To determine availability
To determine drug-food interactions
To determine how the drug is absorbed
To determine if dosage modification is indicated

The correct answer is: To determine availability

The correct answer is A. Reviewing the precautions section of a drug handbook is important to determine the availability of the drug. This information helps the nurse ensure that the medication is in stock and can be obtained for the client as prescribed. Options B, C, and D are not the main reasons for reviewing the precautions section of a drug handbook. While information about drug-food interactions, absorption, and dosage modification may also be found in the drug handbook, the primary focus of reviewing the precautions section is to ensure the availability of the prescribed drug for the client.
