Explanation:

Ticlopidine is an antiplatelet drug. It should be taken with food to reduce gastrointestinal irritation. So the statement "Food will affect the medication, so I need to take the medication on an empty stomach" is incorrect and indicates a need for further teaching. The other statements are correct: taking with meals (to reduce GI issues), blood work monitoring, and not stopping without doctor's advice.

Answer:

1. Food will affect the medication, so I need to take the medication on an empty stomach.
