A client with chronic pancreatitis is taking pancreatic enzymes. The client understands the client teaching when the client states:
1. "I will take this medication with food.".
2. "I should take this medication on an empty stomach.".
3. "I take this medication only when my stomach is hurting.".
4. "This medication is monitored by the lab work.".
"I will take this medication with food.".
Rationale: Pancreatic enzymes need to be taken with food and on a regular schedule, not just when the client is experiencing symptoms. There are no particular labs that are done to monitor pancreatic enzymes.
