NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client who fasts from sunrise to sunset for a religious observance. Several prescribed medications are ordered at times that fall during the fast. What is the best approach the nurse should take when planning the client's medication schedule?

  • Discuss the client's fasting schedule and collaborate to adjust medication times to non-fasting hours while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.

  • Explain to the client that the fasting tradition should be set aside to prioritize health during treatment.

  • Skip any medications that need to be taken during fasting hours and document the omission in the client's chart.

  • Administer the medications at the originally scheduled times to ensure adherence to the therapeutic regimen.
