If a breastfeeding client asks about the risks of an OTC drug, what should the nurse assess? (Select all that apply)

  1. The price of the drug

  2. The newborn’s weight

  3. The frequency of breastfeeding

  4. The drug’s risk-to-benefit ratio

  5. The primary method of drug administration

The correct answer is: The price of the drug

The correct answer is option A. When a breastfeeding client asks about the risks of an over-the-counter (OTC) drug, the nurse should assess the price of the medication. Cost can be an important consideration for many individuals, as some medications can be costly and may not be affordable for everyone. By discussing the price of the drug, the nurse can support the client in making an informed decision that takes into account financial considerations. Options B, C, D, and E are not directly related to assessing the risks of an OTC drug in the context of a breastfeeding client. The newborn's weight, the frequency of breastfeeding, the drug's risk-to-benefit ratio, and the primary method of drug administration are also important factors to consider but may not be the immediate focus when a breastfeeding client asks about the risks of an OTC medication.
