NURS 3100 Exam 1 Practice

While conducting medication education for patients with hypertension, how does the nurse determine that learning has occurred?

1. We can safely take the drug for at least 6 months beyond the expiration date

2. We don't need to worry about storage of the drug, it won't lose potency

3. We need to be careful about taking the medication with certain foods

4. We should not take our medications with milk or dairy products

The correct answer is: We can safely take the drug for at least 6 months beyond the expiration date

The nurse can determine that learning has occurred when patients understand that they can safely take the drug for at least 6 months beyond the expiration date. This shows an understanding of the importance of medication safety and adherence. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not address the concept of medication expiration dates and safety.
