Ans: A
Feedback:
The nurse should instruct the client taking a cholestyramine drug to eat foods high in dietary fiber to prevent constipation. The nurse need not instruct the client to have a complete liquid diet or complete bed rest; instead, the nurse should instruct the client to exercise to prevent constipation. Clients are asked to take a water-soluble form of vitamin A if they are experiencing impaired digestion of fats and absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins due to long-term therapy of bile acid sequestrants.
