Question

a nurse is planning teaching for a client who has been prescribed loperamide to treat diarrhea. which of the following statements should the nurse plan to include?
\avoid driving or activities requiring alertness.\
\if you miss a dose, double the next dose.\

insing the mouth with alcohol - based mouthwash can reduce dryness.\
\having one glass of wine each night can improve medication effectiveness.\

Explanation:

Loperamide can cause drowsiness or dizziness. So, activities requiring alertness (like driving) should be avoided. Missing a dose: doubling next dose is incorrect (can cause toxicity). Alcohol - based mouthwash with loperamide - related dry mouth? No, alcohol can worsen dryness. Wine (alcohol) with loperamide: alcohol can interact negatively, not improve effectiveness. So the correct statement is the one about avoiding driving/alert - requiring activities.

Answer:

A. "Avoid driving or activities requiring alertness."
