B
The nurse should tell the patient to avoid live vaccines. Because etanercept neutralizes tumor ne-crosis factor (a contributor to the pathophysiology of rheumatoid arthritis), the drug may increase the patient's risk of acquiring or transmitting infection if vaccinated with a live vaccine.
Eating a high-fat diet does not enhance absorption of the medication.
Alcohol is not contraindicated with etanercept therapy.
The patient should be encouraged to perform active, not passive, range of motion exercises.
