Question

a nurse is teaching a client who has a prescription for modafinil to treat narcolepsy. which of the following instructions should the nurse include? take the medication 30 min before bedtime. take the medication in the morning. anticipate daytime drowsiness. expect urinary frequency.

Explanation:

Modafinil is a wakefulness - promoting agent used for narcolepsy. Taking it in the morning aligns with its purpose of promoting wakefulness during the day. Taking it before bedtime would interfere with sleep. It is not expected to cause daytime drowsiness (as it promotes wakefulness) and urinary frequency is not a typical side effect related to its use for narcolepsy.

Answer:

B. Take the medication in the morning.
