The nurse should include the following in the discharge teaching for clients receiving salicylates: take the drug as prescribed, take the drug with food or milk and a full glass of water, inform all health care providers (including dentists) of salicylate use, discard salicylates that smell like vinegar, and store in a tightly closed container away from air, moisture, and heat. Salicylates should not be stored in the bathroom because the humidity can cause the drug to deteriorate.
