NCLEX RN Practice Question

A nurse is caring for a client who practices a cultural tradition of fasting from sunrise to sunset for a religious observance. The client is scheduled for several medication doses throughout the day. What is the best approach for the nurse to take when planning the client’s medication schedule?

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

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

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

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