ATI Learning System RN Pharmacology
Quiz With 100% Complete Solution

A nurse on a medical unit is preparing to administer alendronate 40 mg PO for an older
adult client who has Paget's disease of the bone. Which of the following actions should
be the nurse's priority? - CORRECT ANSWER-Ambulate the client to a chair prior to
administering the medication



The nurse should ambulate the client to a chair and ensure that the client is sitting
upright before administering the alendronate to prevent esophagitis from occurring. The
client must also be able to sit or stand upright for 30 min after taking the medication.
The nurse should apply the safety and risk reduction priority-setting framework. This
framework assigns priority to the factor or situation posing the greatest safety risk to the
client. When there are several risks to safety, the one posing the greatest threat is the
highest priority. The nurse should use Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, the ABC priority-
setting framework, or nursing knowledge to identify which risk poses the greatest threat
to the client.

Which of the following medications should the nurse plan to administer? - CORRECT
