For the client taking enteric-coated aspirin for a heart condition, the nurse should instruct the client:
 
  a. crush the aspirin before taking it with the antacid.
  b. avoid taking the antacid with water as this will dilute the antacid.
  c. not to take his antacid within one to two hours of his EC (enteric-coated) aspirin.
  d. EC aspirin and magnesium containing antacids cannot be taken together.
