1. Question
The nurse is giving instructions to a client receiving cholestyramine (Prevalite).
Which statement made by the client indicates a need for further teachings?
A. "This medication will help lower my cholesterol".
B. "I will continue taking my multivitamins".
C. "I will sip the cholestyramine powder for a long time for faster absorption".
D. "I will include a high fiber rich food in my diet".
Correct Answer: C. “I will sip the cholestyramine powder for a long time for faster
absorption”.
Sipping the medication for a long time may cause tooth discoloration or tooth decay.
Regular brushing of teeth is therefore recommended.
Option A: Cholestyramine is a bile acid sequestrant. It works by helping the body
remove bile acids, which can lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
Option B: Cholestyramine may decrease the absorption of some vitamins such as
vitamin K and folate.
Option D: High fiber diet is advised to prevent constipation (a side effect of the
medication).
