A patient telephones a nurse and reports that since beginning ribavirin (Rebetol) therapy 6 months ago, the patient has had increasing fatigue. Over the past week, shortness of breath also has developed.
 
  Which instruction should the nurse provide?
  a. Come to the office for a complete blood count immediately.
  b. This is a normal response to this medication. It should resolve spontaneously in a few days.
  c. Fatigue and shortness of breath may indicate an allergic reaction to the drug. Take an antihistamine.
  d. Break the pills in half to reduce possible side effects.
