Feedback:
The nurse should be aware that some medications have reactions with certain foods. It is not necessary that medications be taken with bland diet for easier absorption; the nurse should know if the client's diet interferes with the effectiveness of the medication. It is not necessary to alternate medications with similar functions. The nurse need not know clients' likes and dislikes about certain food products, which may affect medication absorption.
