Ans: B
Feedback:
When an extended-release formulation is prescribed, the client needs instructions to swallow the medication whole and not to chew, crush, or break the medication. Otherwise, the amount of drug released would be too great for the body all at once. Clients should be encouraged to increase their fluid intake and to separate administration by 1 to 2 hours.
