Question

a nurse is teaching a client who has a new prescription for sulfasalazine. which of the following statements should the nurse make?
\use sunscreen and protective clothing while taking sulfasalazine to prevent sunburn.\
\the medication can stain your contact lenses green.\
\the medication can color your urine dark brown.\
\take an iron supplement when you take sulfasalazine to prevent anemia.\

Explanation:

Sulfasalazine can increase photosensitivity, making the skin more prone to sunburn, so sun protection is necessary. The medication stains contact lenses yellow (not green), colors urine orange-yellow (not dark brown), and iron supplements can interfere with its absorption, so they should not be taken together.

Answer:

A. "Use sunscreen and protective clothing while taking sulfasalazine to prevent sunburn."
