Answer to Question 1

A
The patient should avoid taking the medication with dairy products to help prevent chelation; no further teaching is required.
Grapefruit juice should be avoided to prevent unexpected interactions; further teaching is neces-sary.
Calcium should be avoided, because it also leads to chelation; further teaching is necessary.
An acne-like reaction would indicate an allergic response; further teaching is necessary.
